One of my favorite accents is definitely the Italian accent. It's such a pretty accent. I love the Italian language and everything! biggrin.gif  So what about you guys? What are some of your favorite accents?

I really love the argentinian accent my spanish professor has.  Its adorable.  I also really love the accent russians have when speaking english.

I can't think of any accents that I don't like: British, Australian, Italian, even southern US.  If I could speak a different language I would love to be able to speak Italian or Spanish, those languages sound so great when a person is ticked off! (not that I go around making people mad--I would love to be able to sound that way though)

Yay! Like me! lol. A lot of people say that they like our accent, I like it because it's different, all the other spanish accents sound similiar, but ours is a lot different. But there are no argentine people here (I think), just me..   sad.gif
I love when people speak english, especially the british accent.. I'm always  ohmy.gif "wow, I wish I could talk like that". And french sounds really nice too..

I have wondered this for so long. I have heard people tell me it about 5 times...But is it true if you are born an American, or someone that 'doesnt' have an accent if you go to England and stay for a few years does your accent change and start sounding more 'british'?
