    I understand the American accent a lot better than the English. So I would say that the American accent is the better one.

    I think that the American accent is more casual, a lot more sing-song, and sounds very friendly, whereas the British accent is more serious and elegant and sounds very imperative.

    And besides, the New England American accent is near the English accent.

    English. When guys have this accent, especially when they also have brown eyes, oh-em-jeezles!!!!! Yes, this won me over in the case of my former crush.

    What do you mean, American accent? Southern? I like Southern accents, but that may be partially because my mom's family came from the South. Boston? On the right guy, I wouldn't mind it. Brooklyn? Cute in a kind of bad-boy way. New Jersey? My current crush lived in New Jersey for a bit (he's lived EVERYWHERE. He's even been to Japan). LOVE THE ACCENT. Midwestern? I live in the midwest. I don't even NOTICE an accent.

    There are different types of English and American accents but I would have to say English. For some reason I like Cockney!

    The widespread british speaks greater wisely than an american, yet for something in britain they have those weird and wonderful accents which could’t be ever understood truly posh and cockney… the subject in the U. S. is that the accessory is amazingly diverse even in the comparable place, it relies upon plenty on the social status. In my pass to I had severe issues to appreciate the ladies folk at hooters, as they have been speaking with that form of white trash accessory. no longer speaking with regard to the ***** accessory that’s getting so elementary between little ones (black, white, jap… each and every of the comparable).

    English accents are pleasant at first, but then they get very annoying. I'd choose any American accent over the English accent.
