    seems some accents sounds quite terrible in english and german was one of them...I have a question to all english natives: I would be interested to know what foreign accents in English sound worst and what accents sound most charming (i.e. icelandic)....

    Alright :)
    I'll start off with American accents.
    Northern American: I find this accent to be very welcomeing and kind.
    Southern American: Makes people sound like idiots.
    Eastern American: It's something I could get used to although it is a bit comical
    Canadian Accent: Much like the northern American, except funnier.
    Mexican Accent: No! I don't want a goddamn chicken sandwich!
    Other Hispanic Accents: Can be alright as long as it isn't too heavy.
    Soft British Accent: Probably the best English accent.
    Hard British Accent: Might as well be a whole new language.
    Scottish Accent: Hilarity ensues.
    Irish Accent: Fairly amusing. But not as much as Scottish
    Italian Accent: Pretty cool. Kinda scary in a Godfather sort of way.
    Jewish Accent: I like it. Not sure why.
    French Accent: Sounds almost demeaning.
    German Accent: I can't tell if they are offering me chocolate or threatening my life.
    Russian Accent: Sexy in a wierd femdom sort of way.
    Japanese Accent: Love Japan. Love the accent.
    Chinese Accent: Very strange. I still don't understand the whole "r" vs "l" deal.
    Jamacan Accent: Awsome mon!
    Native American: Much like Canadian, except it's enriched with the spirit of the buffalo.
    Who am I missing?

    The Dutch Accent is the most HOT accent I have ever heard !

          seems its a bit the same like for american ears...

          sounds good: english (elegant), dutch (look above), the most scandinavian languages, french (sexy), japanese (exotic), italian (funny)...

          sounds not so good: american english (reminds a bit of our unpleasant saxon dialect), turkish, russian, arabic, spanish...

          ...but actually all forign accents sounds interesting if you hear it for the first time...but a bit later some are beginn a bit to annoy...
