I have a question for you Europeans out there: what do you think of American accents? I know everybody has a different opinion, but I just wondered.
For example, here in the states, a lot of people think that the British accent makes people sound smart and educated, and is an attractive accent to have.
Also, a lot of people in the States are crazy over French or Italian accents because they think they are sexy, lol.
Hahaha, so I was just wondering what do people think of American accents? Some people have told me that it sounds vulgar...haha....let me know!

See now I think the English accent on British women is what is sexy...British and Australian too!
I don't think you can label Americans as all having the same accent either...look at the difference between someone from Georgia compared to someone fro New jersey compared to someone from Minnesota

I really like American accents though my friends don't. My accent is weird because i speak posh and American at the same time.

Well people in America pronounce many Ts like Ds
Like say Water, you may say wadder, or Water, Americans tend to say Wadder, Bedder, Budder, shudder, rather than the english Water, Better, Butter, Shutter. Hope I helped. )Try saying these out loud, then with a British accent to see the difference!)

Don't know, but I love the southern accent in the girls. It reminds me once I was living in Atlanta and spoke with a real southern. Fell in love by her accent until meeting her. :S
