Favourite accents - Page 3

Pretty much all of them sounded a bit off to me but it was still pretty impressive since that's not something I could do. Although, I can pull off a bit of an Irish accent. I wonder what her native language actually is....

I couldn't tell the difference between the California and Seattle one. I was born and raised in CA and am currently living in Seattle and I don't hear any differences in the way people talk here compared to Cali, so I don't get it. On a side note, the way she said twenty in twenty five for the CA accent sounded off.

Aside from all of that, I love Australian and Irish accents in general the most.

A lot of it has to do with how well you hear the differences and how familiar the person is with each accent. I could hear the differences in the Aussie and NZ accents, but knowing only one native from Sidney I couldn't judge her's.

As for favorites, its not the sound of the accent but what it indicates. When a Korean or Japanese man is speaking broken English, he usually has my complete attention.

It's bloody good to know that the good old Ozzie accented lingo is proving popular which I also notice Japanese enjoy

Her accents would get lost in the second half of the sentance at the part, "and I'm from". I found them to be extremely subtle.

Her Toronto accent is brutally bad. It sounds more like a "tamed" Newfie (Newfoundland) accent.

Oh and Australian is my favorite accent, followed closely by Canadian.
