Jamaican

British of course! I love listening to speeches by Theresa May.
American one without hesitation

British accents really are nice to listen to, you're right. They make the best audiobooks for sure.
Either the queen's english or the southern usa one. The one with the drawl

Expat detected
"""Californian English"""
Nigger what the fuck
There are so many sub-accents of "British" & "American" English that this question is basically flawed in its premise
Most foreigners just assume BBC English is British English
I have a Estuary accent which I guess you could say is modern, non-ethnic, non-regional, and a load of foreigners here say "wow you have a really strong british accent but in a good way"

>He doesn't like Californian English
t. Chinese spy infiltrated into Australia
I feel the lyove, I feel the lyove
Valley girl and surfer? The two most annoying accents.
I agree with you, even I can't stand southern accents.
Runglish is the best
>southern accents
Can confirm this. Watching 'no country for old men' is a headache without subtitles
RP British with a tinge of Cockney and Scouse, maybe even some highland Scots. Girls with heavy Aussie accent are the worst.
>Californian English

'Straya, cunt!
Normal British English (not strong British accent).
>British accent
Come on m8 Scots don't sound the same as the English or Welsh or Irish do they
British accents are cool but I like the flap t that americans use and how they use the glottal stop on words like mountain, cotton and so on
I don't particularly like that R sound in American English because it sounds so wierd and unnatural, which is like why you should roll your tongue that much, and I think that is one of the reasons that students here don't like to speak English loud in front of the class.
I wished Brit English was more common here.
I'm a native english speaker with the monotone west coast accent, but I really like the accents of the really dark African countries, like Nigeria and Uganda and stuff when they speak English, also Eastern Canadian.
Jamaican good too.
bro that's fucking disgusting
vs
Ugandan is the best
I like southern US accents the most

I like this accent whatever it is.
It's almost colonial American, like a cross between southern and British, what state is it from?
British English accents, they sound the most European. American speech sounds like some kind of robotic thing for me, I don't feel deep history and culture behind it. No offense though
And I cannot distinct American English and Canadian English, maybe only memetic Texas speech with their Murrica. And I've never heard any Australian.
I honestly prefer the "hollywood" English for some weird reason.
American native speak too fast, but british speaker speak like they chew shit. Canadian just is between english and romanian. In this case win american english

I like this dialect
American English
only unwritten form of English I could understand
Canadian english is basically American english with raising on some vowels. It’s called Canadian Raising.
Scottish
Dixie accent. Hey y'all
Harry Potter's
idk what type is it
Irish
Indian accent cuz they are the funniest
Yorkshire accent is quite pretty.
British in general is much better than American.
All of the *nglo accents are disgusting and cheap in their own way. But I would say "American" since I'm more accustomed to it. However, I unironically preferred the accent of an Indian guy that I heard in a MIT open courseware lecture about comp sci; it's a shame that the guy stutters so much.
Hiberno English
Australian, fat cunt
The patrician choice.
I always thought it was weird that many foreigners can't tell Canadian from American
Ya man!
Dis yellowman spik di truf!
I suppose I could tell the difference between my accent and someone literally 10 miles from me but it would be very difficult for anyone not from here as they don't know the subtle cues, they didn't grow up here so aren't surrounded by it all the time
Scottish
Nigerian English
I love obscure accents from the British isles!
