North American Accents?

I'm from Canada, and I know all of my friend and I are obsessed with english/scottish/irish/european accents. If someone from Brittian comes over here all the girls swoon hee hee
I was just wondering if it's the same over there for Canadian/American accents? Do you guys find them hot and awesome? Just wondering

 

I have to admit southern drawl does it for me every time Mostly Akansas actually, but there we are.

It amuses me when people talk about "British" accents. Which one is it that people like? There are so many differant English accents, same with Scottish, I'm sure there are several Welsh and Northen Irish accents too. I have 4 friends from Glasgow, all of them have differant accents and that is just one city.... So which ones do those that like british accets like? West country? Cockney? Scouse? Brummie? Glaswegen? Welsh vallies? Belfast?........ Just curious ;D

 

My background is british/scottish so I know more about the different areas than most of my friends here in Canada. They totally just think it's "english accent" lol but yeah ever town is SO different, it's so cool!
I love love love old country scottish, I really love St Ives british accent. Yorkshire has a lovely sound. I am just obsessed with accents! LOL
My family is from Staffordshire, but I don't really know what that accent soudns like.

 

i loved my Grampas accent from the Netherlands......too bad there wasnt a netherlands pavillion at epcot that would be awesome.

 

Oh yeah.... i love Scottish as well.... mm mm...
british is also really cool.... i then meen all british accents....
american ... hm, ca't really say, 'cause I speak it myself....
but southern is cool... gotta be alabama/georgia then....
french english is also great.... like all those frenchies in disney movies...lol ;D ;D

 

canadian and american accents are sooooo hot!! I have a Yorkshire accent (but within Yorkshire there are soooo many different accents too)

 

I go all week at the knees for the N.E. USA accents- specifically Boston. The way the say 'park' and anything with an 'a' in it.

Unusually, I have no specific accent, even though I am from Glasgow. I had elocution lessons at school and have been told that I sound American, Canadian, slightly Scottish (but more of a highland lull), or no accent (Queen's English). I do tend to pick up accents unknowingly and after a year of Florida, I will probably sound like a native.

 

Heh, I tend to pick the strongest accent of the people around me for the forst week or so, then revert back to mine, the same thing happened when I went ton uni; I sounded lie a scouser for the first fortnight or so because I was friends wqith this girl from liverpool.

 

I'm terrible for picking up accents. My accent will change depending on who I'm talking to, even in a group of 6 people all with differant accents it will change to the accent of the person I'm speaking too. You can always tell when I'm stoping myself from doing that or I'm nervous, I have a 'queen's english' accent rather than my usual Bradford/ Cornish mixture ;D

 

im scouse! whoo

 

Thats exactly how I am too! I pick up accents soooo fast. I went to visit fam in california for a month and for about 3 months after I got back I had a full out US accent, everyone thought I was american haha
People often think I am british because of my clear speach, but I am born and raised in canada. I guess I have the canadian version of "Queen's English"

 

yup i'm a brit from down south (near london) and absolutly love the American accent, no matter which state there from so long as its a deep one. as well as the american accent i also love the oz and kewi ones.

But i'm also one off these lucky ones that can usally pick up an accent withing a few days of being somewhere unless i'm around brits all the time or really try to keep my own accent

emma = the scouse accent is pritty hot to love listerning to Stevie G give interviews

 

I used to hang around with Americans so much I began to sound like one, their accent is so easy to pick up.

I love the Irish and Scottish accents, they could talk all day about anything and it still makes me laugh.
And depending on where in England people are from their accents can be really different too.

I do like a lot of the American slang aswell, and unfortunately I do sometimes confuse the American and Canadian accents... much to the dismay of Canadians I have met.

 

I love southern american accents....except of course when the person is blatantly a dumb ass and it makes them sound even more so!

Since I got here I've been told I sound cockney and posh....two very different extremes! I've managed to maintain my accent quite well by doing impressions of Mary Poppins (a little boy told me I sound like him....that's the best compliment I've ever received!! haha!!). I hang out with a lot of Canadians and sometimes find myself sounding like them when i say certain words!! but they, in turn, do say 'english' things sometimes!! it's hilarious!!

Someone from Essex asked me when I was going back to Ireland....and I'm from Essex!!!! that was quite funny...i think the woman was drunk!

Ellen x x x

 

I do that too, im from Glasgow but my friend is from Lockerbie in the borders whenever we get drunk i always end up speaking with a tywang in it, most amusing.

@nobodies36 whereabouts in Glasgow are you?

 

Hey Amy, I'm from the West End of Glasgow.

 

Hey cool, i stay on Napiershall st just off great western rd.

 

My boyfriend is Scottish. He has an accent but it's pretty mixed up...don't even know what you'd call it. He doens't sound anything like any of his friends, until he hangs out with them. Whatever his accent is, I like it. I hung out with lots of brits out there and definitely picked up a lot of their sayings and still use them now...mainly cause Craig does. My sister laugs at me sometimes. My family background is scottish, so my Grandma always talks to him in some weird cooked up accent she has!!!

Funny that most of you talking about English and Scottish here. I say that because most of the time, I usually hearing people getting from here hanging out alot with Canadian and like the Canadian accents. Hehe, people not finding Canadians that much interesting anymore.
