Do you like the British accent?

Question

I speak British dialect (accent) and i would like to know if you like it or no and why?

What accent do you speak?

Answer 1

Yes. I love the British accent...all the variations. I just find it beautiful.



I'm an American and I live in California, so I have....a California accent?



Cheers!



All the best.

Answer 2

I like British accents - all the variations. I have a friend who lives here in the US who is from the north west part of England. I love her accent. I don't dislike any accent. Any accent can be charming! I speak with a California accent, whatever that is. I grew up in a large city, so my accent might sound a little urban.

Answer 3

I'm an American, specifically I have a mid-west accent. I find the British accent quaint. Especially the cockney. I imitate it myself sometimes. I find it interesting to hear different dialects and slang of the English language. For instance, in America they're not lorries, they are semi-trucks. A fag in America is derogatory slang for a male homosexual, not a cigarette. I just find it fascinating how the same words wind up with different meanings and pronunciations. Even spelling is diffrent: America: center UK: centre. America: color, UK: colour. An interesting article on the differences between American and British english: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_differences

Answer 4

Yeah, I like it, it sounds cool. One of my friends has a British accent, and my boyfriends accent is kind of British, I don't know for sure about his though. I have what I guess you would call an American accent.

Answer 5

I like either an east London accent or a Scottish-English mix with maybe some Welsh. I like the pure Welsh accent by itself, though.



I don't know if I have an accent, but I'm from Louisville, Kentucky, so I don't quite sound like a stereotypical Kentucky hick, but I do say y'all.

Answer 6

my parents are french, but i live in america & i grew up around them talking with accents so, i picked it up. i sort of have a french accent but not roughly you can hear me speak english clearly. and like, i dont speak french much at all.

Answer 7

There is no such thing as a singular "british accent". There are incredibly marked differences just going between adjacent major cities.



I personally like my accent, it's somewhere between Welsh, Weegie and Liverpudlian ;)

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

Yes, I like watching Craig Ferguson every chance I get.

Answer 11

depends, the british people i know act superior and always say "mhm" when Im talking and that makes it annoying to me. Also theres different British dialects, one guy I know, I cant understand him no matter how hard i try, but theres some kinds I think are cool. I dont know if I have a dialect im from New Jersey and people say NJ doesnt have an accent of its own
