Accents: Which make you melt and which drive you mad?

I'm from Durham 20miles down the road from Newcastle, & its amazing the difference a couple of mile can make because I'm definitely not Geordie! :-)

As for my personal favourite I'd have to go with Irish

Slovenian accent is just amazing, southern accents, British accent's especially Irish and Aussie ones just annoy me something fierce >.<

They may annoy you but not half as much as people from Ireland or Australia would be to be told they have "British" accents! Different countries mate

And neither country is in Britain, so well done.


I don't have an accent

I'm just here to learn more about people's knowledge of geography :happy:

Saxon (Sächsisch) is absolutely hilarious. I love hearing it!

Aussie accent melts me.... German accent not so much....

ICH LEIBE DICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha we have this up in our office at work (languages dept in a school!)

I like southern American accents, and also Irish, and Italian. Oh, and Australian. I'm English.

Female Irish accent. OMG! I'm in love. Especially when they curse. Lol

Come hang around my house then!!! I love a good cup of tea and a curse, there's nothing like it!

mmmm, I forgot how hot that is!

I'm intrigued to know what a 'British' accent is but I suspect it's people saying 'British' when they mean 'English' and probably thinking of London/South. NAILS ON CHALKBOARD. But not as bad as when English people say 'English' instead of 'British'. i.e. "tea is a very English tradition". NGGGH.


Rant over.

english, definitely english :blushing:

Honestly, there is no such thing as an English accent, it's like saying an American accent, there are so many variations and even the words people say in our tiny country are not understood by all :flowerforyou:

snap! Almost.

Were you commenting on the original post or my reply? If me maybe its the way I worded it because as an English person living in Australia I've got a bloody good idea of the geography involved

whenever im in durhum (live in newcastle, dont sound like it) its soo nice! people actually talk like me and no one calls me posh haha

For all the people digging the British accent....you clearly havnt been to Yorkshire LOL.

Me...I like a german accent....not sure why.

Some American accents grate on me, but I dont no which part they come from.

i love scottish on MEN.

dislike liverpudlian (scouse) on anyone

It's got to be Southern Irish or Australian .

Being a Geordie myself, the Mackem accent has to be the worst. To all you not from the North East of England, we probably all sound the same, but there is a definite difference and it is very annoying to hear Mackems being portrayed as Geordies.

Majority of British accents..,mmm. I love slight Irish accents too, but once I met someone with a really heavy one and .. not so much.

It's funny how people say "British" accents, but to the Brits, the accents from various parts of the country are so so different. I'm from Yorkshire and definitely sounds very different to someone from London.

I have a few American friends though who all sound very similar to me, but they say they sound nothing like.

I have to admit, I do like the softer Scottish and Irish accents.

Irish. Utter sucker for it.
