Which accent is one which u prefere ? British, Scottish, Irish, Welsh or American one maybe? And what makes it special in your opinion?
Personally, I do prefer pure British accent, its insanely romantic and i could listen to that sort of english spoken for hours and hours...
Waiting for ur opinions !! -

Scottish and Welsh ARE British. In fact, there is no such thing as the "British accent" - there are many different ones, just like there are many (although not as many) different American accents -
Magilla
by the way, Natty, what's your "original" accent? and after spending several years in Poland do you notice some changes in it, like Polish immigrants in US&A? or is it just the case with them, caused by that terrifying virus 80% of them aren't immune to, moronesesis? -

Soz to disappoint you, but there IS such thing as British accent, though its kind of a casual expression, not relating to any specific one, from a specific region. aswell as American accent by the way of being so cautios. And that is the point of the question, which of the accents is your favourite one, choosing from a wide spread of their kinds.
Anyway you'r right, i should put it down dressed in words in a bit deifferent way, thanks. -

my accent is sort of Lancashire, with a touch of Yorkshire
but I still object to the term "pure British" - I don't know what this could mean -
S
yep, agreed, typed it in a wrong way. Meant more like pure English, tho probably u will want to object again saying " theres no such thing as pure English", which i would obviously agree with, but soz, wont display all of English regions on here. Thank u for attention. -

I love Brtitish accents...well, this one Kate Nash speaks -it sounds amazing; )
It's a pity that tere weren't mentioned Aussie accent and Kiwi one cause they're awesome. I like in them the way of speaking "əʉ"(maybe, has someone any clue how to do it?;)) -

Ok, so i'll say american accent of course.
British one just sux. It's like gay conversation or something.
In USA u'd just say:
"close da window please",
In UK:
"Would You mind if I would ask You, if You don't mind to close the window Sir?"
:)
:)
British is booring. -

What did you say it's not an accent... It's called "propriety", but you may not know this. :) -
Mateusz
Yap I do may.
Is it sarcasm? :)
But seriously, for me the accent is just a part of propriety.
It is also a huge tool in developing the language.

oi, Natty!
could you, by any chance, demonstrate Lancashire bordering on Yorkshire? :> in writing of course;)
damn all American accents. I'm devastated by the fact that I can't really use 'bugger', 'bloody hell', 'arse', 'cheers', 'bollocks' or any of them fantabulous and oh-so-expressive British words while speaking American. and broken American at that :/ it sounds atrocious, to say the least. And saying 'Bloody hell (with a Rupert Grint accent), get outta my way you fucker (with a not-entirely-New-Jersey accent) is just too hard :P
actually, there is one American accent, if you can really call it that, that I adore. and that's the way Jane Fonda speaks. Sounds immaculate. And quite proper. Not the sloppy New York thing.
and I should really be studying Polish literature right now and not be writing a boring essay on my favorite accents :P
oh, and Mateusz - there is NOTHING boring about Austen-ish propriety :> quite the opposite, I should say. -

No way.
British is really boring and much harder to understand. American one is just lighty'n'easy. -
Brasileira
well, yes, it's easier for most people to understand because it's oversimplified. It's not only the accent itself, as in pronounciation, but also the vocabulary. American is easy. That doesn't make it nicer or lovelier or more interesting than English though. Quite the opposite, in my opinion. It's not even the fact that English is more sophisticated or whatnot, it's just more... polite. It sounds better. Christ, even profanities sound like music to my ears in English! :D Gooood, how I adore England! My alma mater.
Anyway, what exactly is it that makes English so boring to you?
Oi, Natty! I'm still waiting and hoping for your demonstration!
Btw, I graduated yesterday :> -
