What are yours I like to hear Italian spoken or sung wish i could learn it
also the the Irish accent not the harsh ulster one the softer one.


Caterina..:)

well it,s like this my little princess so it is so it is. What,s so rong with our Ulster accent eh eh.

I like the French accent myself. Learnt German in school

None really but certain soft female voices I like.

Favourite (non- Liverpudlian) UK accent = Geordie

European - French (Loire Valley)

Hiyah folks yes i like the geordie accent french not too keen sorry Chippy nothing again Ulster People just the acccent. used to work for a lovey man from Achill West Coast of Ireland he was and his accent was to die for. Ohhh..

Caterina.:)

I like the Acadian accent from New Brunswick, much nicer than the standard French Canadian accent in Montréal.

I love the Swiss accent from Berne too.

:) Hi LunaticLu Yes I prefer the canadian accent to american my dad was born in Toronto Ontario..


Caterina..

Is It true that Canadians say Eh after each sentence when they speak or do I watch too many Cartoons?:PDT10

Caterina

Español

una lengua tan hermosa. tan agradable oírlo dicho

Hey up Gnomie i only speak Yorkshire.

Caterina:)

Well, I must be general in this... England (English), some American English (California) lol...and of course, European...French, Italian, Greek , Portuquese, .... oh la la la la.... makes my heart go thumping loudly.. :handclap:

Like most of them except Aussie and Estuary English. I find Devonshire quite amusing in a nice sort of way, but can't get used to blokes calling me 'm, dear.'
For pulling crumpet it's got to be Italian or French. Wouldn't want an American accent in today's climate. I read in the newspaper that American tourists in London when asked where they are from often reply, 'Canada', just for the quiet life. :shock:
I like the German language too; very expressive. Other than quite happy as I am; sound a bit like Paul McCartney.

I am American.. and never had a problem with my accent in Europe..? I think, if you act politely, and try to understand the language of the territory you are at.. all is well...knowledge is golden.. right!!!

Being afraid of whom, or where you are from , is just wrong... That is just my opinion...

Aloha seems to be accepted everywhere.. and then some... okie dokie.. :PDT_Aliboronz_11: Aloha and ta ra mate

German and French - :eek: :eek:

German- Noooo ! I just don't like it ... and French - I don't know what all the fuss is about - I don't like the sound of the French accent at all.

Sorry folks. :PDT_Aliboronz_11:


Espanol for me :PDT_Piratz_26: It's a beautiful language, lovely words and sounds. Very pleasant to learn but that's 'cos I'm biased.



UK accents I like are; Geordie, any Irish accent, Welsh.

I like the Bolton accent because of Peter Kaye ! :) :)

.. and the Brummie accent is rather amusing, it sort of grew on me.


I don't like Scottish - sorry Scotties ( I have Scots in my family) :PDT_Aliboronz_11: ... funny thing is, I love Billy Connoly.

I don't like any southern accents much and definately not Wiltshire or Devon & Cornwall.

I saw a Brummie in a white flannel suit and white shoes. I asked him, "Wouldn't you like a kipper tie?" He replied. "I would thank you, and can I have milk and two sugars please?"

LlINDY :shock::shock: i'm Scottish, my husband a Southerner and my kids were born in London.

I don't like "common" accents of ANY area, eg:leccie, chiccccken, aye, naw, whit etc, it's not hard to be polite, i slip up sometimes and it annoys me.

I must say, the Italian accent is VERY expressive and SEXY :unibrow:

sorry Lottie :PDT_Aliboronz_11: :D - nothing against the Scots - my grandad is Scottish, also other members of my family have married Scots. :) - there are just some Scottish regional dialects I'm not keen on.


As you say - I don't like 'common' accents too much either - from any region. 'Scally Scouse', Cockney, etc.

I just talk with an ordinary Liverpool accent - but some of the real Scally stuff is cringe worthy.

I wasn't brought up, I was dragged up after being born in St. james Street, Liverpool 1. (Townie)
Lived in France until I was 7 and then in Ireland. I learned Liverpool English when I was 10.

Nah thats just the english canadians eh! (lolzzzz)

There was a feature on breakfast tv yesterday morning about a dialect used by the miners in the north east. They are calling it 'Pitmatic' .
They had some miners on giving us some examples of their slang. They converse very fast and with a strong accent so it sounds like a language of it's own.

I heard it on the Today programme, BBC4. Odd wasn't it? The Geordie language is rooted in lands just across the North Sea.
My sister in law, a real Geordie was in Belgium once. She saw an old Flemish (I think it was) inscription written across the inglenook fireplace in a pub. It looked double Dutch to me but when she read it out it was understandable: it was just a purer form of Geordie speak.

Anyone like to heard Euskera? :rolleyes:
