    Quite simple, which accent do you like the best?

    A husky Irish, a sexy Italian or an earthy Australian?

    Please leave your opinion in the comments :slight_smile:

    I saw a movie where my tv crush had an English accent. It was great!

    I like the English accent, I think I'm just being biased but oh well.

    I think I'd classify that as a regional variation within the Canadian accent. Although unfortunately there isn't a Canadian option, I apologise :slight_smile:

    I'm pretty sure there's little that's earthy in my accent.

    Also, there's one Asian accent?

    Oh, my favourite is an educated Lima accent; I've met a handful of Peruvians with gorgeous accents in both Spanish and English.

    I couldn't include every accent and realised a lot of my options were accents from Europe so I added in accents from the region of Asia in general and of course people can specify in their comments :slight_smile:

    I would like a guy with an American accent the best (basically, my own accent, not southern accents or east coast accents). I think it's simply easier to understand. I find most accents cute, but in a practical sense they can make communicating difficult, depending how thick the accent. English and Australian are probably not so bad since they are the closest to American.

    I think EC is more popular in western countries in which case most people wouldn't be able to distinguish the different Asian accents very easily. However, they'll be able to distinguish European accents more easily and can be more specific.

    Yeah, tell me about it, it's so hard to communicate with my accent, have to repeat and rephrase so many times :dry:

    Their accent is unique enough to be considered as one in itself, they're native French speaker and thus they don't speak English the same way as other Canadians, even French people tend to have a hard time understanding them xD

    I agree :slight_smile: I just meant that's how I would classify it for the purposes of my very limited poll.

    English is nice and Irish is probably tied with it, but Italian is my favorite.
