What English Accent Do You Prefer ?

Why? Write your Answer Here ! ;)

[Jul10++]

WTF !!! Why the Poll doesn't appear ? :S

My Answer: I prefer the american cuz' that was the first i learned :P

[Luis(tm)]

I like it... Sounds "stylish" :D And is easy to understand

Cya!

[jasz]

I like it, all my english teachers while I went to school in Cali were british... I got used to it....

Plus, I'm a Beatles/Zeppelin/Ozzy Osborne/U2/Coldplay/The Cure fan... :)

[Air-drés]

I do

filler

[Krieg]

I like it ... it's easier to understand. And I live in Europe.

[pinktomate]

I began to admire the elegant UK English accent since I saw the funny film "The Full Monty". You can smile, but it's true.

[HOHO]

The UK Accent is better than the US accent... Why???

The UK accent is so much "refined" than the US accent, although US is more rich than UK, the people wants to have the real accent of the idiom, also the UK accent is in "fashion" (I think fashion is just for clothes, for that reason please somebody write the real word).

However, I didn't find the first school or college that uses the UK accent...

[_CA_Alem]

Yes i do, but sometimes is quite difficult to catch some of the words when i am listening at BBC World.

I like Caribean accent also -which is spoken in Jamaica, trinidad and barbados-. They take their time to pronounce and speak properly and is very easy to understand them.

American accent is awful because they speak so fast.

[HOHO]

The Uk and the US accent is almost impossible to understand when are listened for a Spanish person, the Jamaica accent is almost a spanish accent, We have to listen the real accent of the idiom!

Is too easy to understand the english idiom if a colombian person speaks, but this idiom is used for gringos, I don't understand this accent, for that reason I've to see the "load caption, I've to improve my english...

[fast]

I prefer british accent than american, is easier to understand...also, it sounds better.

Tesuer.

[Edensoca]

i like the british accent, is cleaner, the american accent is "dirty"

[Jul10++]

jeje LOL I like the "Dirty" :P

[EnempE]

WOAH ! back up here.
(England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland)

These are hugely diffferent accents !
Even within England you have a huge range of Accents . Even I struggle to understand the Welsh because of the heavy Celtic influence on their language.

This is like saying do you like the Colombian/Argentine/Chilean accent?

I like the brisbane accent, nice and clear.

[HHCastan]

I like it so much. Some times is very dificult but doesn't matter.

[*BMX*biker]

US accent is... cool , maybe its cause of all the movies...

[Flako]

The australian accent is very funny :)

[Sac]

Altough my accent is american 'coz that's the way I'm learning, I love british accent, it sounds so refined and beautiful and sexy.

[cfranco-p]

The thread title was changed from "Do you like the UK English Accent ?" to "What English Accent Do You Prefer ?" answering a request from [Cyb3R_M@tr1X].

[Lmsilva]

What EnempE says is true... there is a huge number of different accents in the British Isles... I do speak English but I was once approached by an Irishman and couldn't make out a word of what he was saying.... and I later learned that he was just asking what my name was!!! With a little bit of background noise and concentration lacking, English spoken by Scotsmen, Irishmen and Welshmen is basically unintelligible if you're very used to the American accent. Worse with the Welshmen, who actually sometimes speak Welsh...

[HHCastan]

OK. I prefer UK English accent

[betatester]

Yes indeed!! British Accent its so elegant =) Although it requires a fine ear to understand.

Cheers :P

[Air-drés]

Fooz yer dooz!

[jasz]

[Jul10++]

[Vlad Dracul]

[HOHO]

I prefer British accent it's elegant and sounds better and because it's my country languaje

[Vlad Dracul]

:cool:where are you from? I'm from England but i live in south america since i was a boy (12 years old ):cool:

[LordCyb3R]

Yes, I'm agree with you, but I like so much the UK english, it's so clearly and elegant.

[Air-drés]

:cool: I'm from England but i live in south america since i was a boy (12 years old ):cool:


I'm also British but I've never lived there (British by descent), mom was born in London

[The Music]

I learned the american english, but i prefer the british accent, it is stylish and kind of elegant, plus easier to understand.

[jasz]

I prefer British accent it's elegant and sounds better and because it's my country languaje

Boy, you need to tell your momma to help you with your grammar and spelling...

one better way to say what you said is:

I prefer THE British accent BECAUSE it is elegant and it sounds better (than american English). It is also my COUNTRY'S languaGe

I capitalized the things I changed.

[HRC-Ivancho]

This is a cultural issue. It almost quite depends on the accent you've been exposed to. However, my case is unique. I was taught with both Brittish and American books. Yet, I got used to American accent due to the huge amount of American shows, movies, and news we're bombarded with not only in our country but along Latin America. =)

[GARUDA]

british accent for me is more elegant,sorry but my english is not good

[EnempE]

youse all think us blokes speak funny?

[LordCyb3R]

Australian English, cuz they talk very fast, and sh*t, thats the most complicated english.

Yes, Australian English and Jamaican english are complicated but these are so funny.

At the last year, some brazilian people came to Colombia to make a exhibition, they spoke in spanish but their accent was brazilian, nobody didn't understand anything!

Lost time... lost time... was the two hours most lost of my life...

[HIADA]

I understand Brazilian Spanish... and I do like how it sounds jijijiji like singing samba!

[JimmyCognitti]

I prefer American English coz it's the one tha I was taught (I studied the language for about 16 months here in my country and then I moved to the States and lived there for almost 2 years).
I find American English pretty easy to understand and somehow "friendly"....
On the other hand, British English sounds nice but sometimes it happens to drive me crazy (specially Irish ans Scottish English).

I think that the American accent is easier than Brithis accent for understanding, but it's a custom, because, Nowadays I'm studying english and all teachers that I've have speak with American accent, Nevertheless Brithis people speak so polite and beatiful.

Regards,

[funksta]

i prefer the american accent,becouse i learad that but the british is a interesting accent and the words are cleanest than the american's ones

[jmbarrios13]

hi, i am not gonna tell you, wich one i prefer,, but i think, that for us, the us english and accent is more useful, 'cause we are here in america and most of the english speakers that come to our country are from usa and canada..... another thing i wanna tell you is that, i dont like canada style,,, right now i'm studying english in vancouver, and the guys here speak like "ronroneando" (jeje sorry for the spanish word, but i dont know how is the word in english),,, and besides canada's english, is a mix of many cultures, like italian, hindu, japanese, chinese...........and more asian countries, so its kind of different and hard to learn because almos the 70% of your classmates are asian, and they have Enormous pronunciation problems, because in their languages they never pronounce the R...., and another sounds, for example they dont say "I THINK". they say I Zhink.....and they will make slowly your learning proceses....

[Jul10++]

i prefer Us street accent

btw never write like this when ur chatting in english. it sounds like "yiyiyiyi" in spanish

[juandl11]

I prefer British accent because it´s more refined and it has like more class, and when you talk with british accent and you are with people around, it sounds so much better the british accent, and you can understand it much more aesier that american accent. And also I like to talk in British accent.

[Himmelsstümmer]

[Himmelsstümmer]

:P Jeje maybe.... although the bristish also is good.!!

[CSI]

british is better that american, i like it a lot

[zinterius]

Hi
I would have to say that the best accent is the Irish, not in general because some of them have a very strong accent but there are some of them that have a sort of mild accent that is just beautiful to listen to, I wouldn't know how to describe it but I’ve always loved it.

Personally I'm more familiar with the kind of English they speak in the US, but at a time in my life when I lived in England I got to understand and actually picked up the regular british accent after a while.

I think every accent in the English speaking countries has it's own particular appeal with the exception of the accent of the people from India, Sri lanka, Pakistan, etc. which I really dislike.

[diegob_85]

I find very atractive britishaccent...but..i dont know....americna accent is so cool...i really love it...

[viejojuanfer]

My favourite is English accent .

[shaolinazul]

[diegob_85]

[tiko.FCI]

muahahahaha

Australian english is the worst one! the speak so fast omg.

Northamerican english is tah best, its very simple, but the british uses more vocabulary :)

[EnempE]

Easy there champ. We like our accent.

BTW, Australia has a range of accents

[Nefarious]

UK accent no doubt is teh best, australian is so... like they cant decide which to use :P

[diegob_85]

All the regions, and countries har a wide variety of accent, so, saying, that we like north american accent, australian, o british accent is not gona be a big deal....maybe we have to star specifying....

[EnempE]

Wel, actually you could argue that the australian accent is the older accent. As it has been affected by other languages the least. We have been isolated for 200 years with little outside interaction.

We sure aren't trying to work out who we want to copy. thats like saying Colombians cant work out if they want to speak like Chileans or Mexicans...

[mistigo vargoth]

ta Paisan english SUCKS! je je Alvaro uribe :S that's crap!

the better accent is el costeño!! :p

[EnempE]

omg,

you guys will argue anything.

Australian spanish is the best !

:P

[diegob_85]

ta Paisan english SUCKS! je je Alvaro uribe :S that's crap!

the better accent is el costeño!! :p


jajaja...i dont think so..i mean i have known a lot of paisas who talk english perfectly..so it deppends on the practice...costeños have great accent....in fact, colombians accent rocks..

[Rodnok]

If u wanna understand any accent around the world, u better learn the "RAP ACCENT", thats very hard to understand everythin they say... even when they speak normally... anyway, u get that, u get everything.. thats all... :P:P:P

[diegob_85]

Rapper accent is really dificult because of the worked slang the use....

[dNxEtOr]

i think that UK English is better than US English,

[joyo22]

I've been teaching English for 6 years now and I think accents just can't be better one from another. Their validity can't be judged by their own characteristics. All this stuff about accents is a bias people try to spread, just by saying: i.e "British English is for educated people, american english sucks". I'm a bachelor in Modern Languages and I had both English and AMerican teachers. I took the most of both and I learned useful things to communicate at any level. my accent is quite american since I spent long hours with american people, but it doesn't make me a "better" speaker.

PS: Spanish from Bogota rulz!!!! LOL, LOL!

[Caan]

For me, The american english is the more easy of understand.

[ChainGun]

Greetings to everyone.

I totally agree with joyo22. We just shouldn't say that one accent is better that other. Doing so, we would be saying then that some people are better that others. If you're a Colombian, and suddenly someone tells you that the best spanish is the original from Spain, what would you say to that? They have their accents as well as we do have ours.

In my case, I speak better American than I do British, due to the fact that I've been exposed to more American accent than British one. Don't get me wrong, I like British a lot. But it's better if you stick to the accent that you prefer.

Tidings;
ChainGun:nervios:

[diegob_85]

english is more understandable beacause we are more used to it that the british one....

[oneself]

I prefer british, becuause it sounds better and elegant, the americans speak as they have a potatoe in mouth, die amerikaner sprechen sehr schlimm

I prefer NYC English slang from the gutter. The british speak as if the potatoe is up their Ass.

[xellux]

I prefer the UK accent :) it's rlly nice ^^ ...

[|Nc| Polo]

well o really like the england accent it´s so quick and sweet greetings

[tatotiburon]

i also think that UK accent is the best, american is full of trash

[|Nc| Polo]

american it´s all ************************

[)-jamsblast.mpg-(]

american because it rulez!

[|Nc| Polo]

well i respect your opinion greetings

[edgextreme]

Well I have an encounter of feelings, my second native language is English (Canadian/American) as my family is american/canadian but many of my teachers were Brittish. Also some other accents like romanian or Spanish(Spain) are really cool to hear!

[[UD] andrezitofer]

.. I highly prefer the American pronunciation... You know.. it's easier to listen :P I really sometimes can't understand the british 'n the australian pronunciation... Canadian english is easy listenin' but they speak with a French accent all the time... lol (I've no heard sud-african english and others) ->Can u say if did u?

[monoxid]

Australian. Simply I like it.

[gK-SilveRMatt]

I love american accent.... why? i dunno :S :P

[[UD] andrezitofer]

It's a simple 'Rule of Three', North American English is to Colombian Spanish as Britsh English is to Spanish from Spain!!!

I couldn't explain it better... lol !:P

[V1Ckr4m]

Yeah it works like that cuz in both cases (UK an Spain) they have the mother language.
I like Scotland English cuz in movies i've seen thats the most clear in UK and the UK style rulez

[[UD] andrezitofer]

yeah.... it's like french from france and the french from Cánada... lol !

[julman5]

The Chibchombiano Accent Is The Best

[Oesoto]

LOL!!

You say you like English accent (I think you meant UK accent) but at the same time you say that accent is so boring. Sooooo?? :\

[Pietro_GP]

I Like the Australian and British accents overall. Maybe the Scot quite a bit, but it's not as easy to listen to.

[JUN]

American accent is the best, it makes you feel kind of free. By the way, the americans made the english the main language in the world.

[ĴũΔήØЖ]

I prefer the "Canadian style" 'cause I learned english here, and has a lot of stuff from the British writing and a lot of French expressions, but it has the American accent.

[Desde_La_Usa]

The Spanglish , would be my best bet.!!!

[Oesoto]

Spanglish is not an accent, it's just a deformation of the original language.

[HIADA]

Canadian accent ;)
At least it's better than Australian one.

Australian it's hard for me... I never get what they say

[[UD] andrezitofer]

HIADA, Exactly that's what happened to me with British english, some times I can't understand 'em, they have another accent and speak tooooo fasssst !!! ya'ndsta?:P

[HIADA]

jiijijiji you're so funny!!

And you're right, British is hard to understand, but do you want to try something harder?

Try to talk to an Arabic person who lived in England... Arabic people speaking English and british accent sucks!

[ĴũΔήØЖ]

guajajaj, that is so true hiada, even if they are just learning english, holy cow, it's so hard to understand them.

Also with Chinese people, OMG, I remember that in the writing test they used to get really good marks, but normally I used to think that they didn't know english, cause when they talk, their accent is so fuked up, that you don't know if they are talking in english or in mandarin or else :P.

sal"u"2

[HIADA]

are you talking to me?

Nice to meet you... I'm HIADA ;)

[ĴũΔήØЖ]

Holy shit, sorry Hiada :p hahaha I don't know why I wrote tifa :P jajaaj sorry, maybe a mental gap :P

Nice to meet you ;)

Alright problem fixed ;)

sal"u"2

[Oesoto]

I remember when I saw interviews made by American journalists to people from the middle east. Their pronunciation can be anything but something similar to American or British English. I don't know how these journalists get everything that they say, I can barely get one or 2 words of what they say :muerto:

[ĴũΔήØЖ]

you know Oe, people get use to it, an example is that many people here in the town where I live, understand Latin accent, and we know that this accent is easy to understand, but I have met some people that really, they don't get a F word of what you say because they are not used to this accent, sometimes the same happens to me.

sal"u"2

[KingNothing]

I prefer the british accent 'cause I think it's got style but... I learned the american accent..
Yeah.. the australian accent is sooooo funny but it's almost impossible to understand =P

[ĴũΔήØЖ]

Hey you guys, look what I found :P, is a really nice video, I really like it...
Believe it or no, Canadians and Americas have some kind of conflict between their cultures... that here is more liberal and there is more this, and that. stuff like that... anyways here is the video ;).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXtVrDPhHBg

Hey, I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader....
I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dogsled....
and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
although I'm certain they're really really nice.

I have a Prime Minister, not a president.
I speak English and French, not American.
And I pronounce it 'about', not 'a boot'.

I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
I believe in peace keeping, not policing,
diversity, not assimilation,
and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch,
and it is pronounced 'zed' not 'zee', 'zed' !!!!

Canada is the second largest landmass!
The first nation of hockey!
and the best part of North America

My name is Joe!!
And I am Canadian!!!

In the comments section somebody said:
This is funny.Canadians have no identity of their own except "not being American".

[daverumblepack]

British, British, Britishhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Lol

[CCAITOR]

I think that it's better the American Accent, the England Accent it's more dificult.

[SEPU-SEPULVEDA]

i think brit english is so much better for speaking , it's a litte bit harder to get, but as soon as u get used to it u will like it above the others :P


australian english SUKZ so much, don't ask me why, it just does lol
american :S not that good i guess
but canadian is the freaking worst for me, it even sounds like too "frenchy" for me , but still, at least in medellin, that is the accent a lot of people prefer, and again, i haven't the foggiest idea why :O, it is just strange for me , and don't like it.


well then, no matter what accent do u have , english is english, no problem there, but still some are harder to understand, but it s just a matter of time .

[PlateroJR]

I'm agree and is easier for us (the colombians) learn to speak the english cuz' is so neutral and the colombian spanish is neutral too.(specialy on Bogota cuz' we dont have any accent).
We can be unprepared inside de north-americans.
I'm so proud of be colombian!!!:jaguar:

[wallac3]

English accents... well.. There is absolutely no doubt that liking a certain accent is one thing.. But honestly deciding which accent or way of speaking is the best is rather easy if: 1st. You actually speak and understand English and 2nd. You have had experience hearing and dealing with people that are from those countries because what you hear on TV often differs from reality. Do not forget that actors have intensive pronunciation and diction classes before they can actually become one.



British english is by FAR a more refined, and properly pronounced and used English. you do not need to go very far to realise that..! take the word "water" for example.. American English = Warer, British English = Water, or "Route" American English = Raute (Not in every state though), British English = Route



Enough said.. we all are entitled to our personal opinions, but the above mentioned are Facts not my opinion

[LearnSmart]

I believe the most clear English accent is the Californian American.
However I love the British accent! It's just too elegant and I envy those who can speak it!

[BoxZK]

british sounds cool, specially from football matches commentators i.e. epl (english premier league). American dont sounds so good on this..

but i like californian accent, little plastic, but nice in some girls mouths ;)

[gK-SilveRMatt]

[gK-SilveRMatt]

nop, it's better da "gringo" english, because i like hear it, UK's english i don't like it, actually i hate it.....

I don't beleive British accent is easier to understand than American; I'd say British Pronunciation is harder and most of the times it can confuse you...greetings!!!

[Roychop]

well, I like brittish more than american, even though I use the american english, sometimes I try to use brittish accent but I sound like a cartoon hehehehehe :P. one english accent I hate is Australian accent, good lord, it's so weird sound like messy.

does anybody here like Australian accent?

[[UD] andrezitofer]

not meeee!!! you know... xD

[leodj29]

I like so much the British (UK) accent, but mostly England, because Scottland is hard to understand and Irish its a kind of mix betwen England and Scottland, but still good.

[nanaluna18]

British, of course. American english is more and more mixed and the essence of the language gets lost.

[juliocesar55]

British, all the way!!

More stylish and refined (when spoken properly)

[leodj29]

That's right

[|LMc| Red Dragon]

British accent is more stylish and refined but it's also more difficult to speak and understand, American is easier to understand and speak as well....

[maton1200]

:O american is the hardest to understand and speak, for me..

hmm i prefer australian, is pretty similar to british but hmm dunno, has a cooler pronunciation.
