The Accents that strike a chord
Having grown up in Africa and now living in America, when I meet people for the first time and they hear me talk, most will pass out compliments like "oh I love your accent" its unique, some will say its sexy and I'm like "Really, thanks", many will engage me in a conversation so they will get to hear more of my "lovely" accent according to them, lol, on the other hand, some probably find it a bit hard to process and understand fast enough my English, if I say some things in different way than they are normally used to, but they will be like keep talking I just love hearing something different, since then, I also took keen interest in noticing and enjoying different accents both within and outside the USA.Now I can almost guess correctly where someone come from by listening to them. Amongst all the accents, I have my top 5 picks which I term the sexiest English accents, when they speak, its like music to my ears, I just enjoy listening to them, these top 5 are:
- British English (what is also called Queens English) I love the way they speak with the refined, quick and somehow aggressive sound in the way they pronounce words, it's beautiful.
- Jamaican English that is like reggae to my ears. I love love their accent.
- French: Have you heard a Frenchman speak English with a French accent, that is lovely, then when they start speaking French, very seductive even if you don't understand a word.
- American English, the casual yet seductive way they stretch and emphasize their words, the slangs, they make me wanna keep them on auto-repeat forever
- South African accent, I don't know why but I find the way they speak very attractive, the mixture of their local language with English is interesting.
