    6 Talk about different English accents

    Hi everyone

    I searched the forum and found nothing interesting about the different English accents.
    I thought It is interesting to have a topic about that.
    You can name different English accents you've heard and we'll discuss them.

    Which accent do you prefer the most and why?

    What do you do to learn your desired accent?e

    Looking forward to your contribution

    funny!... I can quote quite a few movie-related dialogues about accents.. lemme think:

    everything sounds better with a British accent
    ( Anne Hathaway to Emily Blunt)


    And that accent you've tried so desperately to shed: pure West Virginia. What is your father, dear? Is he a coal miner
    (memorable quote from The Silence of the Lambs)

    Ok, I'm gonna answer the two questions up there in my first post.
    I've heard four English accents so far.
    )I classify them according to the difficulty of their pronounciation (From easy to difficult:

    1. American accent
    2. Australian accent
    3. British Accent
    4. Irish Accent

    Each category may divid into sub-classes as well.

    American accent for example:
    You may have watched many English movies with different accents.

    About 2 years ago, when I watched Hannah Montana TV series for the first time, I thought What the heck are they talking about.
    Their Tennesse accent was so unfamiliar to me
    But now, I love this accent.

    The Irish accent is still hard for me to understand.
    Westlife is an Irish music band. I watch their interviews every now and then. They speak incompletely and fast I mean they don't speak clearly .

    I will upload a part of their interview for you ASAP.

    you mentioned Tennessee... I also find Southern American English very pleasant ...


    it kinda reminds me of the Southern accent of our own country (Jonoobi accent) .. being originally from that part of the country I can relate to it! --- it's warm and friendly.

    hi, I found a teacher on you/tube.. his name is Misterduncan.. and he is British originally. if you wanna learn British accent, I hardly suggest you to watch his lessons ..
    By the way I've heard four English accents too ..

    1x American accent
    2x Australian accent
    3x British accent
    4x Canadian accent
    Is there any difference between Irish accent and Canadian accent ? .. I'm confusing
    I think American accent is more popular for Iranian people .. British accent is more difficult to hear, See Tongue-twister : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue-twister
    How can English people speak very fast with this accent ? .. they usually speak fast /
    I believe that we shouldn't copy their accent .. Of course this is important to learn about pronunciation ..

    Give me a five!
    I'm Jonoobi as well.

    Yeah, It's pretty much like it.

    I personally think that the British speak like mutes. They don't pronounce most "r"s at the end of the words or in the middle.They speak in their throat, I mean they create sounds in their throat. They don't use their tounge pretty much.
    As if they are learning how to speak, you know.

    I remember the movie Chaplin ... an actress kinda makes fun of Chaplin's utterance of "better listen" ... because as you said he hardly pronounces the r at the end of better.. later we see Chaplin trying to pronounce it more like an American ...


    as I said, on this issue I cant keep my mind off movies!

    It's ok ... actually it's great .... I believe it's a good reference to possible English accents.

    Keep it up!

    American or British accent...that's the questionL

    I myself prefer British...but I found it so difficult so I just stuck to my American accent L
    British accent is so pleasant to listen to...but it's a bit hard for me to understand...L
    BTW, I guess the accent in which most Iranians speak, is not actually American...most of 'em can't speak in British accent so they think that their accent is American  It may be Persian L
