English: UK. London possibly? I'm guessing my accent in English sounds like a brazilian weird version of a 'neutral' american accent.
Spanish: Buenos Aires Italian: Veneto (: Portuguese: Caipira, and all its variations, of course. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I like the German dialect spoken in Sachsen and Thüringen prety much. It's so weird.

I love German from Vienna, such a bouncy, musical take on the usual clacking statacco.
French from le Mali, manzer des wanions Spanish from Mexico and English from North Carolina. I have a female friend from this area of the US, and she sounds as if she should be strolling along manicured lawns wearing a bonnet and carrying a parasol. I've even heard her say, 'Bless your heart!' Intoxicating... 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Haha, nice to see that foreigners love the accents that Germans mostly don't like. But
The German from Berlin is not considered Hochdeutsch - also most people in berlin do speak Hochdeutsch. The German that today is considered Hochdeutsch is more or less the region around Hannover. Anyway, I like the Bavarian dialect, because it is my native language. But I also really like the South-Western ones. In English I like the English one..I am not sure whether I notice the difference between London and the rest... In Spanish I like certain accents form the North of South America and Central America. I also like Castillian Spanish. Although I lived a long time in Argentina, I don't love the dialect to much...but it brings nice memories. In Italian I am not sure..I like Napolitan, but also some of the North like the Piemonte and Emilia-Romagna. In Arabic i like the Levantine dialect and in Portuguese I prefer the Brazilian version... 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I really love Swiss German. All my German friends always told me it was ugly, but when I traveled to
Switzerland I discovered I loved the sound. In Mandarin I'm not sure what my favorite dialect is yet, but I dislike the Beijing accent and found the accents in Taipei much easier on the ears. In English New York/New Jersey accents are my least favorite. I'm from Minnesota, and I like Minnesotan accents because it reminds me of home, but I don't really think they are the most attractive American accents. A lot of Southern U.S. accents are pretty cool. Outside of the U.S. I'm less familiar with regional dialects, but I've always liked the way New Zealanders speak. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I already answered this thread but I have two new favorite dialects (or maybe regional languages), Nnapulitano and Vèneto.
