Accents, Do you have a fav?

U.K. favourites, Geordie and Yorkshire.

Foreign ditto (when speaking English) Italian and Greek.

Southern Irish, and Italian.

Love French accent. Was sent to elocution lessons twice a week to make sure I didn’t have a brummie accent.

For me it's the Welsh accent, it's beautiful. Then Italian, so romantic sounding.

I like hearing almost all accents really. Makes people sound more interesting. (Btw, Ngaio1, a German accent isn't really always gutteral outside of war films. It can sound really nice!)

Wolverhampton - a lovely singalong sound. I’m not from the West Midlands but I love that accent. Warm and friendly, bab!

Im definitely a sucker for an Irish accent. You'd think I'd have learned my lesson with the disastrous relationship with dd father but apparently not ??
I'm currently in a fwb situation with a Nigerian man. His accent is lovely, although when we first met it was very clipped English sounding. Turns out his father was a fan of 'Yes Sir' ?

I like the Scouser and the brummie

Definitely French

Any accent really it adds to life's rich tapestry....imagine if we were all androids? Like the colour of our skin its beautiful

I love a French accent! ❤️ I have a degree in French/Spanish from the 1970s, so have visited France quite a few times on holiday over the years!
?
My most hated accent - my own - Glaswegian! Even although I moved away from Glasgow nearly 20 years ago, I have never lost the accent! ?
Neither am I too fond of a Liverpool or Belfast accent! ?

French and Italian for me ;-)

South African. Dutch. And Somerset !

My favourite is Cornish. I also love hearing Welsh, Irish north and south, Scottish, Geordie, French and Italian, Aussie.... I only dislike one, Brummie.

Eagleswings, that's interesting, as many people don't like Bristolian (I'm born and bred 'Brizzle').

I detest 'cut-glass' accents (sorry Your Majesty!), but love Geordie, Liverpudlian, Brummie, Scottish and Irish.

French for me. Used to eat in a restaurant where there was a French waiter called Sebastian. I went weak at the knees every time he spoke. Annoyed DH somewhat.
Like Geordie too but when I go to Newcastle DH has to translate.

For me it is North East too as one side of my family from there and it seems familiar . Also Gaelic the same as apparently am 32% Scottish . Love the music .

Geordie, All Irish accents, and Scottish accents. My pet hates are Brummie, Scouser and Cockney. They grate on my ears.

Our next youngest Daughter acquired a Welsh Accent whist at university, where she met her then Partner of 4years who came from the Rhonda valley. She spent time living there herself during weekends and holidays with his family on their farm. Sadly, after graduation the cost of long distance travel between their two homes, and the fact that it was left down to her as he needed to work on the family farm, made them decide to split up., although she still speaks with the same accent 8years later!

I love a soft Lancashire accent , very soft and kind , love Welsh accents too especially Mid Wales,
I am from Liverpool and I have noticed a change in the accent over the years, it’s changed to a lazy guttural drawl. I worked in a lot of places over the years and never heard anything like the accent portrayed now. Ie Brookside. You would never hear The Beatles talk like this. It’s evolved over the years and it’s not as gentle as it used to be, there are a few actors from Liverpool who have the accent and it’s very pleasant to listen too,

I enjoy them all.
It fascinates me that different areas have almost different languages.

Welsh, I love hearing it.

I am losing my hearing and use hearing aids. I find accents make it harder to understand people. Some accents are harder than others. A mild accent is ok if they speak clearly but fast speakers with a big accent are really hard.

My lovely Son-in-law is from N. Ireland and has a lovely soft accent. And of course I'm partial to the Wiltshire accent, which is where I'm from. I always lapse into it when I visit.

I had an American granny. She was very old when I knew her and I was the youngest of a big, noisy talkative family and we just naturally seemed to come together when she stayed with us. She had a bad leg and was in constant pain but was always smiling with me. I would help her dress in the mornings, it took a long time and she would tell me stories of life in the American Midwest at the turn of the century. Sometimes when the pain was bad she would reach for my hand and I would squeeze it in sympathy. Whenever I hear that unmistakable accent now I think of her.
