        Do you have any nice female examples of it? :)
        here is one...but the dutchman are quite good english speakers so you don't hear much accent I think...

            I must believe what you say...can't really judge it

                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.

                        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

                            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 and Italian is sometimes accetable.
