Non-American English accents
I love them all, though I find the Scottish accent a little hard to understand. I absolutely adore Aussie accents, though. Don't know why!

1. I love Aussie accents too.
Maybe its because many Americans want to be Australians. Maybe they're the Americans we never were.

2. I love English , Irish , and Scottish accents .
And I also loved it while living in Germany whenever men spoke in English - something about that accent ;)

4. Irish accents are so lyrical and song-ish.

I do love them all...but sometimes the Scot/Aussie accent sounds too sloppy/rough and the Brit sounds too formal sometimes. Love the Irish.

But my favorite is Shah Rukh speaking English! Ooohhh Shah Rukh!!
