English: I really like my dialect and those around me (although I know that's pretty self-centered!)--Northern California, as well as what some people would call "ghetto," "gangsta," or "urban" accents (I don't know the PC term). As far as "other" accents (i.e. people from elsewhere), I really like thick Irish accents, because it sounds like English but I just can't understand it! It's kind of like solving a puzzle or hearing Dutch. I really like most accents from the British Isles though.
Spanish: Costa Rican (the first I learned, so it gets a sentimental vote), Cuban (I could listen to it all day), Andalusian Catalan: Barcelona (again, the first I learned), Lleida 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I won't give an answer for English, as far too many accents or dialects come to mind. But I will say that I prefer Spanish when spoken by Mexicans. As for the other languages I'm learning; for Afrikaans I like the Western Cape accent the best, and for Dutch I tend to like the sound of Brabantic or Flemish a little more than any other dialects. I haven't heard enough Finnish yet to distinguish different regional dialects or accents in the spoken language, though I think I may have tried to read something written in Savo dialect once, it was very interesting.
