Pleasing:
French, Qubecois,
Spaniards of the Philippines such the Ayalas, it's with a Filipino accent with a twist, lol maybe cause they're billionaires
Actually, I've met a few Spaniards there with the same accent that weren't exactly rolling in dough.

I live in Michigan, and cannot STAND listening to people out here speak. I literally cringe.

You know, under the normal circumstances I am not a big fan of German language, but apparently at this point I'm missing Europe enough already, so even German sounds pleasing to my ear.
However I must admit I didn't like this particular girl. Don't like the way she moves, don't like the way she sounds.
For some strange reason it made me think about this old video; yeah, I like it much more and I don't even mind so much Russian accent here...

I have met a lot of Brits, I find them for the most part to be very nice people. I also find the accent pleasing.

Aussies.............yikes, besides being arrogant p***** for the most part...........LOL, that fricken accent.........put a nail in my eye.

Help me out here. You have Quebecois and French on different tiers.

I speak my textbook-taught French in either place, get along fine, and can't tell the difference, though I'm told there is one. What is it?
