I guess they thought we talk like what they see in films or how the Queen speaks.


The cockney accent that Londoner's talk with, I think is one of the nicer British accents compared to some of the more northern British accents. ( sorry, if any Brits from Northern England are reading this)
I have had conversations with people who have a very different and much heavier accent, they must have been from Northern England.  At first I had a hard time understanding them but I acclimated to it very quickly and was able to understand them.  Of course I still didn't understand some of the slang expressions and would have to ask for an explanation.  I'm sure they thought that was funny.

British and Australian. But I also love to hear the Island accents --- Jamaica, etc. Guess it's because we hear them so much on our cruise.

I've got a couple of Russian friends and I really love to hear them talk. It's strange, I can hear the Russian accent whether they are talking in English or in Japanese.

Oh yes! My aunt is Russian, and I like their accents too.

French!  I adore listening to French accents and I'm so surprised I'm the only one who mentioned it.


I'm amazed at the the people who like Australian accents!  I don't really have one as I was sent off to 'art of speech' classes at an early age and sound sort of British.
