What accents are considered appealing in your country?

r/

I was thinking today about what accents are (typically) considered pretty or appealing in the united states. English accents, Irish, French, Jamaican, Spanish and Italian I think are generally considered pretty pleasant to listen to, as well as Australia and New Zealand.

I like a wider range of accents myself, but in terms of what I hear average people say those are the ones I hear commented on, what accents are considered “nice to listen to” where you’re from?

    I think in the US people generally find French speaking French appealing, but most people I know don’t actually like French accents in English.

    The “standard television accent” is the one from São Paulo, the most likable one is probably from Minas Gerais, the most stereotyped from Rio de Janeiro, the one from the south is considered a bit queer

    Brazilians don’t think too much about it, but for me any Spanish accent is pretty appealing.

    If we’re talking aboout the accents in Portuguese, I’d say that the accents from Rio and Bahia are hot

    Most people just find other accents kinda of funny.

    For me, I think Arabic and German accents are a bit cute.

    Kind of unrelated. But there is not such concept of foreign accents in Spanish for countries that speak a foreign language. The term accent is only used for native accents or dialects of Spanish speaking countries. A foreign accent in the English sense of the word is just considered bad or poor Spanish.

    Back to your question, Colombian accent is almost universally regarded as the most attractive female accent in Spanish

    I personally like the Russian accent, it’s so lovely when they talk in Portuguese.

    A video from Olga do Brasil. I took an older video because of the heavy accent.

    In the USA we like Spanish accents and French. I personally enjoy Irish accents.

    A girl with a Spanish accent sounds very attractive in general.

    According to my personal experiences, in Brazil there is no such thing as an appealing accent, there is a less hated accent. People here love to talk badly about other people’s accents.

    We don’t really have a thing for accents. We’re used to hearing and maneuvering through Spanish if necessary. Portuguese is a little more distant but still in the same family as what we speak and therefore manageable.

    As for our own accents everyone seems to be fascinated by the Cap-Haitien accent but only cause they insist on speaking so different than the rest of us lmao

    I don’t know. I don’t consider accents appealing. I want a hot woman, I couldn’t care less about how she speaks.

    within EU countries: french, spanish, italian are considered "sexy"… what is NOT considered appealing is german. Almost no african or asian accent is considered appealing (this is because of racism, i fear)

    I like the carioca (Rio de Janeiro) accent as someone from São Paulo

    All the Brazilians that I’ve met who speak Spanish fluently have a super melodic accent. I love it.

    There’s also something special about the accent of gringos who learn primarily Spain’s Spanish.

    eh depends. back in 2018 exotic accents were looked for in restaurants. So they hired colombian and venezuelan immigrants. That is not trendy anymore. Desirable though? I mean, also depends if you like rio platense or not. A lot of people hate us

    I’d say it’s pretty niche to feel an Italian or Kiwi accent to be pleasant. To each their own but those two are often considered rather silly
