Foreign accents - vexing and befuddling

[nicenycdick]

What aboot us Canadians eh? No one finds us sexy? :wink:

I get a little thrill when I hear that "eh"....really.

I guess that's why Indian and Chinese men in the USandA get all the bitches.

Huh? Really? You are joking....right?

Outside of the City, my NY accent has done me very well, indeed.

This thread reminds me of a scene in Love Actually.

American girls, "Say bottle"
An English bloke, "Bo-ttle"
The girls, "Oh my god~!"

And answering to madamplusdebois, I am now studying English with a Canadian teacher. I personally think Canadian English is the clearest, and comfortable and easy to listen, but a bit of monotonous like a good student who doesn't play sports.

Sorry..No such thing as an 'English' accent!!

I love having an apparently "educated" New Zealand accent. Which means i don't murder vowels as much as most Kiwis. Most US women think I'm English. They like that, anyway. Australians aren't sure where I'm from. Accents are fun.

Lol, I am Indian but have no accent and I am not sure if the Indian accent sounds "sexy" at all. I do know a few women though who just go nuts over accents, mostly like french, german, etc. I think its really hard as an Indian guy picking up american chicks, I am not sure how many dig facial hair or label me as a "fob" before I even open my mouth. : (
