I'd love to have an exotic accent haha.

My accent is like Bronagh Gallagher, if anyone knows her? She was in Pulp Fiction for a little tiny bit. She was 'Trudi'

Oh I don't have an exotic accent. But I can fall into an irish one or pull a "Valley Girl" act.

I guess it depends on what langauage I'm speaking. If I speak Japanese i have no accent. Is ound like any other asian. same with korean.
If Is peak english, I have to watch my temper or I do fall into an accent and I can make a sentence sound like one word.

Gorwing up around my grandfather I picked up a bit of an accent because when I was little I wanted to sound like him. I thought it was SO cool. Well I kinda screwed myself over for the rest of my life because I might say a word or two in conversation with an Irish accent and then my friends laugh about it. dammit...

In the same topic....I think guys with Romanian or Russian accents are adorable.

I hate russian accents. one of myf riend's has one and I can never understand a word of what he's saying.
But Romanians.
They make believe in phone sex. It's like trent Reznor's voice. it always makes me wet.

i love that accent

i dont even know why.
the majority of people i know that have it are irritating little shits, youd think id be put off it.
i dunno. im a lover of pretty much any accent i guess.
i got to serve a table of americans last night, they were lovely, & apparently i sound slightly north american =/
mm. accents are good.

You people ever heard a strong Swansea accent? it's far from plesant.
Anyway my background, right...

Mothers side can be traced back to France, with the french counts BUT somehow we managed to skip out just before the french revolution

(go us!!!).
After that it can be traced up to the barnem and bailey European circus (yes, there's a little bit of carnie folk in there but please do shut up!)
so out of that i've basically mixed in a fair bit of Europe over the past couple of hundred years, i think there's a bit of portugese, spanish and french in there, possibly more.
other than that im about 90-something% Welsh and there's a small bit of English in me from my fathers inside, although to anyone who didn't know he'd deny it and try to pass it off as Irish, but that's just my dad for you.
On the whole i'm not that interesting.

Screw the previously mentioned accents.
Polish accents. It's horrid. Oh my gosh. My friend's dad is from Poland and I can never understand what he says. And his voice sounds so rough. . .
dear goodness.

We have Polish workers at my works...one girl try's to teach me Polish words.
Simple stuff like "hello, good morning" etc, but I cant get my tongue around the pronunciation. It's well tricky.
