Well they say mimicry is the highest form of flattery and I'm good with accents too. Love East Indian or Pakistani accent, always so cheerful. Love Virginia accent too.

In America, the New York accent is quick, like their walk and life...The
South is slower, and more drawn out, as life, and the Midwest is a neutral sound and life...

TIM, Hey, you're in the number 10 spot. EZ boy!
I have always loved the British accent. I think it hearkens to an era of empire-building that one admires, as one admires the power of the rich, as from a distance.

I love them Southern boys, cooter brown and all y'all! I was born and raised in the Upper Ottawa Valley, so I have a natural twang. Compound that with my world travels and guess what? All y'all in FL think I"m from England! Go figure. I have no idea how I sound, but I do pick up the flavour of dialect no matter where I go. Talk to me now? I sound like a FL girl. Good enough to fool D and I'm winkin' baby! lol --Joy!Mary

The Aussie accent can sometimes leave a lot to be desired!
I can say that - I'm an Aussie. Depending on where people are from in Australia can not only affect their accent but also the choice of words they use for everyday items!
I love an Irish accent or a Danish person speaking English. I think one of the charms of accents is that it is something different - as long as it is pleasing to the ear, we'll enjoy listening to it.
It also doesn't hurt to have someone pleasing to the eye speaking with an accent!!! Did I say that out loud? LOL

I love the sound of English spoken by someone from Ethiopia or other
African countries - so clipped and precise, but lyrical in a way Brits and Aussies aren't. But this is by no means critical of the Brits and Aussies - delicious. I absolutely love a Scots accent - but can't always stay awake late enough to hear Mr. Ferguson on the late late show. As for the good old boy Southern Accent, I can talk country, but I have this sneakin' suspicion if you woke a southerner out of a sound sleep he'd sound like the announcers on the BBC...

Hi TIMMY...My favorite accent is British. I once dated
a Brit and I think I only dated him because I loved to hear him talk...oh, ok, he was pretty hunky too. LOL Oh, and since I'm originally a New Yorker I used to have a strong NY accent. Well after about five years living away from NY I lost my accent. When I went back East all my friends told me I spoke like a "hick." I told them it wasn't hick talk, but proper use of the English language. LOL

I have no accent, but I am like you I pick them up very easy. Matter of fact I have been asked what part of the south am I from and I just answer Southern California. But my family has been doing some family tree reaseach and a lot of my family are from Kentucky, maybe that is where I get that southern accent. My son in law is from Kentucky and my daughter has picked up some of his accent. We have so many different accents here in Ca that I could have a combination of all kinds of accents.

I like accents if they are accompanied by a nice personality.
I say this because its awful when someone with a foreign accent is nasty to you. In South African terms I have a boring and dull accent but here in NewZealand it amuses me to be told how sexy my accent is. I simply crack up laughing.

Accents don't do much for me, actually, except they are kinda hard
