inspired by a convo with a friend. haha
what accents can you not understand?
what accents do you not like?
what accents do you like?please be as specific as possible! dont tell me american or british. because those places are huge and there are tons of different accents within each of those countries! ><
(taken from wiki:an accent is a manner of pronounciation of a language. Accents should not be confused with dialects which are varieties of language differing in vocabulary and syntax as well as pronunciation)
im talking about the different accents spoken by native english speakers. not people who speak english as a second/third/etc language.

haha. me too! -
when those people from china speak english. it totally freaked me out. i feel like smacking them when they speak because it would take them so long to speak a complete sentence, #$%#$%!. however, indian accents do make me laugh though i understand it. for example, the word volume can be spoken "wo-lume". and the word "earth,both" can be spoken as " ert, bot"
anyways, my favourite accent would be received pronunciation and estuary english. ( both are british accents) =D
