My basic accent is Received Pronounciation (dead posh), but I dip into Hampshire (a cross between Cockney and West Country), Welsh Valleys (very sing-songy) and a smattering of German (embarassing, as I don't actually speak the language).

I lived in Cardiff for 7 years, but successfully managed to avoid picking that one up - no mean feat for me, I'm a natural verbal accomodator. laugh

I love accents. grin

silkychica: ok!no.1 do you have an accent?
no.2 what accents do you love?
no.3 what accents do you hate?
and why

I have an accent in every other language other than my native one banana
I do not hate accents, I just don't like them all grin
Some British accents take some getting used to for me, but I spent few hours thinking all those years of studying English were in vain when I met a Scottish couple 5 yrs ago. I smiled the whole time and didn't have a clue what they were saying rolling on the floor laughing

I dated a girl from Glasgow many years ago... and sometimes even I found it tough... at the time though I was stationed near Newcastle so that may have had something to do with it... rolling on the floor laughing
