What accent/language (or combination) do you find ***y?

[ghosthunter]

which particular british accent do you like? once you are here in UK you'll hear accents from londoners, wels, yorkshire, liverpool, birmingham, scottland, ireland, new castle, etc. only one of them i like, the rest are funnier than my english-ilonggo accent and only when i get used to londoners accent that i understand why they are making fun of american english accent

Not particularly sure which particular accent it is. I am sure it's not scottland nor irish accents. I think it's the London accent. It's the kind of combination where certain brits have this ability to understate the obvious with an undercurrent of emotional/***ual passion.

It's either that or I have been watching way too much british TV programs.

Here's another one> Hey bra! I kaw kaw poki and drink beya and taste good ha! (meaning> Hey bro I ate octopus and drink beer last night and they are good)

This reminds me of a pretty hapa haole friend of mine who spoke pidgin like a kamaaina. She would often go like "...i dunno, it's da kine dats like da kine wen you wanna da kine, you know." It amazes me how her friends will always understand her perfectly each time and nod their heads in agreement.

Bahasa is also ***y....

English in French... or French in French.

Anything is better than English in a Visayan accent... or, vice-versa, Tagalog with that trying-hard California accent...

Je suis d'accord.

Yup. Am surrounded by frogs and those of the female persuasion actually get one's motor running.

Now a French lass I was once with actually did ask what the fascination was with their accents. Specially in the U.S. I told her it was more a function of Media I suppose with the hype related to it. I said "get into a French maid's uniform and you will see what I mean."

Being with British and Aussies as well, the girls claimed accents are reflective of upbringing and class. One British girl I was also going out with said those that spoke French were normally of what they called better upbringing (the royalty is fluent in french). She was fortunate she hopped from England to Monte Carlo as her father was in the finance industry. Thus her fluency in French. She is married now yet we keep in touch and it is so interesting to speak to her on the phone. Apparently same goes with those from Oz. They also claimed that accents are cleaned up in exclusive girl's schools. Samples of which would be Nicole Kidman's and Rosemary Church's (is that the CNN newscaster's name)?

Gud Die mite ! Aussies have ***y accents too (cue Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts hehehe . . . grrr, hanapin ko nga yung vcd ko ng eyes wide shut :naughty2: )

Lea Salonga naman and her faux british accent is not amusing in my opinion . .

[niky]

Now now now. My wife is Visayan and she speaks english quite well.

As for my fav accent..... Nothing beats the Brits.

Wood you loyk som tea? Bloody hell!

Hahaha... sorry... it's just that I was born in New York, and when we moved to the islands, all my school teachers were Bisayano...

Nakakahawa nga, eh...

I simply find Lea's accent and diction a bit too strong. It does reflect her personality but I don't find it ***y.

Way too much anime but yes, they do speak somewhat like the way they speak in the animes.

But unless you speak japanese, kinda difficult to have a conversation. I tried once to befriend a couple of japanese ladies (actually college girls) when I was at Boracay many years ago. Their english was pretty rough but it was kinda fun in a weird way.

Kinda hard to "sign " when you hands are busy doing "something else".

This is from the time (many cycles ago) I thought about dating a very very cute girl who was deaf. I even tried to learn a few basic "signs" then.

[safeorigin]

yeah, sign language is too deym ***y. especially they stick one finger in their lip and give that innocent look.

anyway, i still think that russians speak the ***iest.

British Accent - they could read aloud a telephone directory and it would still sound so good

German Accent - it's stereotyped as stern and commanding but my German boss speaks very malambing. My officemates even imitate how he talks

Accents that I hate:

India - it's so hard to understand and too sing-song
