Woah hold up, you are Canadian and you don't hear the difference between that and American? :O Usually Canadians come over here saying they get mistaken for American over here and English back home. Never heard anyone say themselves that they're similar though. I thought I could even tell between the two!

Anyway I dunno, there's too many within each, for example I don't like some Irish accents but love others. My fav is possibly Dublin or some Scottish or even Aussie accents :P.

edit: lol at the Scottish vid!!!!

[Black_Apalachi]

edit again: those idiots in the "liverpoolian" one aren't scouse :l

[Misawa]

Mine..

[littleitaly]

I like English but that rent boy wasnt even doin a proper english accent.

[Blinger1]

Australian, so distinguishable.

[Lindsey]

Well, Texas accent i can tell apart, but Canadian and American yes, i do get annoyed when i get called American, but i mean like i cant tell them apart, if i was in a room full of people who are American ill think there Canadian,...

Except Americans think Australins are British.

[Abbie.]

irish :]

[hah]

thats english people putting on irish accents :'(

[Black_Apalachi]

Except Americans think Australins are British.

I was going to include that with what I said. I also find Aussie and New Zealand fairly similar and for some reason South Africa, but I can usually get the South African one pretty quick :P.

[Blinger1]

Except Americans think Australins are British.

Not if u get a true Aussie accent, none of this city ********.

[le harry]

That girl sounds nothing like an Aussie lol

[Arch]

I havnt clicked any links but from people ive heard in rl and movies and stuff Australian is my favourite accent or black people

[buttons]

i don't hear the difference between canadian/american neither...


i luv the accent up here, not the ones down south like glasgow (unless you're scotty :eusa_ange) & no we don't all sound the same. used to like irish till i met one at college, ughh

[Ardemax]

u forget the welsh accent :'(

search gavin and stacey or sommit!!

[Misawa]

Well, a French-Canadian will have a strong French accent in their own Canadian accent. General Canadians do sound very similar to Americans, however you can often differentiate between the two because Canadians will say some words in such a way, like "about" becomes "abhowt" and doubt "dhowt". Hard to explain the pronounciations.

3. Irish Accent http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sr4gctFcsxc

Phoney!!!! that aint real!

[brandon]

I only like Irish accents especially Wes Hoolahan's.

[Dinosaurawrr]

i love scottish accents.

Did you see the Scottish vid?! It explains it pretty well!!! :P I thought it was already obvious though, that there are loads of different Scottish accents. Where abouts in Ireland is he from??

[e5]

Liverpool :):)

[Ardemax]

the scouse accent really annoys me

[Jack.Lfc]

The south welsh accent annoys me. Not the north welsh but the south one.

[Pyroka]

lmao I was just about to say Jack, nobody really mentioned the welsh accent... I dont blame you for forgetting it though >.>

I like scouse, scottish, brummeh, landan, southern devonshire and the dorseeet accent (smiddy will know what im chattin about if he ever reads this thread). uhh... oh and irish, for you abbie obv... *cough* LOL

[GommeInc]

That guy in the English video annoys me :@

"Why don't alot of English people go to America then?" That's like me returning the comment, "because we think imbreeding is a disease which can be transmitted sexually." His english accent was crap anyway, it was so nazelly that you can tell he was putting it on :/ Then again, if it's fatal, I hope he gets it :/

No accent turns me on anyway :P And there's quite a difference between pure Canadian and pure American. What you're thinking of is Canadian-American, which obviously sounds the same. Canadians have less adnoid problems, and speak like a watered down Australian accent (by watered down, I mean quieter, less "gdayish" and less scratchy :P)

[Jack.Lfc]

That Liverpool one doesnt sound scouse to me.

[Ardemax]

The south welsh accent annoys me. Not the north welsh but the south one.

as in valleys south? :P

[Pyroka]

Ryan I think youre lying ;) ;) ;)

[Black_Apalachi]

That Liverpool one doesnt sound scouse to me.

They're just some idiots who are visiting Liverpool and laughing at all the "Liverpoolians". :eusa_wall Can't you tell how stupid they are and clearly tourists? :P

[Swearwolf]

scottish, like mine

[Abbie.]

[Yoshimitsui]

Irish! Make me laugh every time.

[Meanies]

scottish or irish:love3:

[Starburst..x]

You've got to love the Irish accent!
I quite like the American accent, but depends on whereabouts in America their from.
I know people say it's common, but I like the Essex/Cockney accent (when the person is genuinely from that area, not when it's put on grr!) It's better than any 'posh' accent, I can't stand that.

[jackass]

Ewww, I hate the Irish accent! :(

I like the South African accent. :P

[Black_Apalachi]

Ewww, I hate the Irish accent! :(

I like the South African accent. :P

I hate SA accent so much! Did you see District 9? I was cringing throughout cos every time he used the F word it sounded scouse :P.

[jackass]

Haha nah, didn't see it! :P

[MTLeak]

[Skaboy15]

I prefer Jamaican tbh :P

[-K8T!E-]

Irish accents the best :) I really like some american accents, but not all.

[Misawa]

There are many different South African accents.

I find Scottish the most unbearable, horrible set of accents I've ever heard.

[scott]

I agree with Jen, further up scotland you go the better the accent gets. But i do like Australian

[staypositive]

Scottish, nothing compares.

[Abbie.]

scottish people always call me hen LOL

only hot scottish guys have nice accents

[Jay.]

Irish. My girlfriend is irish and her accent is sooooooo sexy!

I'm scouse myself, I always sound aggressive when I shout, without meaning it :(

[Black_Apalachi]

omg same! Everyone's always like 'calm down' and I'm like :S

This girl in one of my classes at uni is dead pretty, and I thought I recognised her from my old school but turns out she's from Nottingham and her accent is so hot on her :D

[Ardemax]

the irish accent is ok... for a little while, but i couldn't have a big conversation with an irish person without breaking down and just laughing

[The Professor]

I can't decide between trinidadian and yorkshire, they're both awesome :D Sucks that I don't have one :(

[stone-is-island]

I love the london accent!!

[Blinger1]

scottish people always call me hen LOL

That's why Australians is the sex.

[William93]

I enjoy listening to Cheryl Cole's Newcastle accent.

[Ardemax]

I enjoy listening to Cheryl Cole's Newcastle accent.


why aye man

[ItsDave]

Canadian or Welsh. However I do like Stephen K Amos's accent.

[Scouse]

I hate SA accent so much! Did you see District 9? I was cringing throughout cos every time he used the F word it sounded scouse :P.

i thought that was hilarious. so did everyone else in the pictures :P everytime he swore the whole room burst out laughing. he sounded like he was from like 5 different places.

anyway, scouse obviously ;) & geordie

[J0SH]

South of England accents obviously, people from Bournemouth, London etc

[Black_Apalachi]

i thought that was hilarious. so did everyone else in the pictures :P everytime he swore the whole room burst out laughing. he sounded like he was from like 5 different places.

anyway, scouse obviously ;) & geordie

yeah exactly!
i like gerodie sometimes. for example cheryl cole yes, that lad on x-factor no :P

[Tash.]

I've grown to like the mancunian accent recently, though I was never a fan before.. I actually have more accents I dislike than ones I like. For example, I despise the scottish accent, the SA, the aussie and the american. But I do like spanish people speaking english, very cute twang they have.

Oh and I don't like my own (Yorkshire) but I am oddly defensive of it if anyone disses it.

[LoveToStack]

I don't actually mind an English accent so long as it's not some coarse cockney sound.
As far as accents within Scotland go I like Fife accents, well anything towards the West coast is quite cute. It's a change from Glaswegian anyway.

[Accipiter]

gaelic!

kidding i think ozzy accents are amazing wd anyone who said north east accents.

your ******* if no one did.

[Geraint]

[NIKKEE]

Can't stand Australian and Irish accents, and I find American and quite a lot of Nothern English accents.
I like Scottish accents, I live pretty close to Glasgow, and I think my accent's pretty good, I get compliments when I speak to folk from other countries.
But I am from the South of Scotland, so it's all fae, wouldnae, cannae, shouldnae with me, though it's not as strong as a Glaswegian accent.
I hate Edinburgh accents, I really, really DID hear someone say "ken whit I mean like, eh?" in Sainsbury's.

[Black_Apalachi]

What does 'ken' mean? Been wondering that for a while..

[Tash.]

lol :P

I'm pretty sure it means know.. could be wrong though.

[Eoin]

I'm pretty sure it means know.. could be wrong though.
correct!

ken = know
ken whit eh mean = know what i mean

kent = knew
ehm sure eh kent that bird = im sure i knew that girl

[Gibs960]

Liverpool one is annoyin I think, hard to understand

[hmv]

English+Indian+Scottish.. especially Robert Pattinson's :D

[Wig44.]

South eastern coast of England, e.g my own. Scouse is hilarious, I dislike most Asian accents because I really quickly break down laughing and then they think I am being racist.

[Black_Apalachi]

correct!

ken = know
ken whit eh mean = know what i mean

kent = knew
ehm sure eh kent that bird = im sure i knew that girl

hehe thanks :D

[Bun]

i love my teesside accent, even though it does make me sound thick.

[GarysLovers]

Irish accents well cork

[danzooo]

I love Geordie accents (Newcastle). They sound really comic and never fail to make me smile. My girlfriend's parents both have thick Geordie accents and I love them, hilarious.
