Re: foreign accents

ouch...this sounds so different that even I recognise this...

Civilizations can be destroyed with such speak, probably. As a user commented - He didn't understand if he said "that you leave here" or "that you live here".

Re: foreign accents

I like German accent while men are speaking - but not female. It just sounds too masculin in some way - don't ask why. For both men and female the british accent seem more easy while listening. French female is sometimes accetable. Italian is acceptable. Hard to find a favorite.

Italian (dubbed version - close your eyes plz)

Re: foreign accents

Speaking of Dutch, I wonder who LazyTownDutch is on Youtube.

It's me.

I am confused. I thought you lived in the US? How do you know Dutch and why are you uploading Dutch LT songs? I thought Pooky was already doing that.

I can't stand when women do stuff like that.
I have to teach them a lesson to stay in the kitchen by upstaging them.
Especially that damn Pooky....being all liberal....

Re: foreign accents

Let's see, so this thread is about how an american , brit, canadian, australian etc would judge accents of people who try speaking english...here's my favs:
1)German accent
2)All scandinavian accents
3)Dutch
4)Scottish
5)Irish
6)Welsh - I'm not extremly familiar with this one
7)Slavic accent - seems russian, poles, czecs, bulgarians, serbs etc all speek english with the same accent
8)Italian
9)Greek - sounds kinf of similar to the slavic ones
10)French
11)Arabian, persan and turkish and hebrew all sound the same I guess
12)Indian/punjab/paki
13)Japanise
14)Chinise
Now native english accents:
1)English
2)New Zeeland
3)Australian
4)Northern US
5)Southern US
6)Canadian - hate that one
I'm sure there's more, like Chuft just posted above, especialy in the US, also in England.
