Sunday night.
Time to relax with some YouTube.
“That looks interesting,” I thought.
But I couldn’t finish the video.
It was too painful for my ears.
I was listening to the worst English accent in the entire English-speaking world.
The accent was…
KIWI!
Kiwi, of course, is another name for someone from New Zealand.
And when they say the letter “e”, it sounds like a baby chicken is dying inside their nose.
Just terrible.
But guess what?
Some people like…. LOVE the New Zealand accent.
Isn’t that interesting…
I’ve been thinking a lot about accents recently.
So let’s talk about that this week.
And to start, please jump over to the blog and tell me:
What’s your favorite accent?
I’ll tell you mine tomorrow.
I like italian akccent in spoken English , like drivers in moto GP like Valentino Rossi , they speak strong R, and that is funny for me
I am doubting between French and Italian.
I can’t Say One specific, but usually I understand Better not native english, english or american when don’t speak fast, american Is fast, or when english Is round and fast🤗
I love American English 🙂 And I don’t like any other 🙁
I like to learn new methods of English.
The American accent is the simplest. I think North American accent. There are Americans who awfully speak English. Of course, it is not as clear as British. British is more understandable.
British English, of course!
I liked very much the accent spoken by Uthred from the TV show called The last kingdom…
American english, though I like the Oxford (school) english too. M
I love the accent that italian people have when speaking french or english. It is so cute musical, sunny and smooth.
I don’t have a favorite accent, but I think that accents, although they often hinder communication, enrich the language, make it more colorful and expressive.
British accent is the best, for me
I love American accent specially north american – I find it slightly and easier understand . I like too asian accent-At my work , I met many asians who speak English with good accent .English patients speak fast ,I understand very little 😀

Hi, I like to listen to Hugh Grant how he speaks. Good accent, good pronunciation….
I like Indian accent. I admit it sounds a little funny, but is nice and clear. Anyway I have no problem to understand them.
British, owcourse!
But…what if is not the worst or terrible accent and just another way to speak English!
You never know how is it with a spoken language because, I think, is a so versatile thing, …I don’t prefer an accent or the other, I just listen or speak.
My favorite accent is British.
My favorite acent is English, but it is only because I untherstand it beter that others.
I like the Indian accent, which is a little bit different according to the places (India is a huge country) but I like it though it has been a little bit difficult for me the 1st time I talked with an Indian guy (a few minutes only, time to get used to it). Maybe it’s because I love India 😉
I would agree with Eglė
I love American English too. Maybe it’s a consequence of American movies, where I mostly listened to American English.
The Italian accent is for my ears, like a tiramisu or a napolitane pizza for my stomach 😅😉
Old English is funny, I love South West American accent (because I use it)
I find Norway’s, Sweden’s Northern’s accent easy to understand (for me)
