    i can't tell how it sounds. i've heard it all my life. it kinda sounds bland & boring to me. (Northeastern USA, it sounds similar to Toronto, Canada's accent)
    although, Montreal english accents are cool, especially when it's a female.
    that french twist makes it sound unique/fragile/vulnerable.

    some British accents are soothing, others are too perky & makes me tired.
    i like Scottish, Wales accents. (has a mysterious, spiritual sound)
    Irish accents can be hard to understand.
    i love Jamaican accents.. it's super cool, hip, and fancy. bar none, my favorite.

    so.. how do you like American accents?
    and is it easy to impersonate?
    also, if possible, specify which country you're from. (not required.. but im curious)

    I love the American accent!
    When I moved to England in 2013 I struggled to understand Scottish or American people, but now I understand them very well.
    I still struggle with Australian accent though.

    Unfortunately I have an Italian accent when I speak English, but I'm trying my best to lose it because I hate it.
    I've started to speak only English, even when I talk to myself or I get upset.

    At the same time, my Italian is now getting an English intonation (I rarely speak with my family or other Italians).
    So when I went back to Italy in 2023, people thought I was English, even telling me: "Your Italian is good!".

    My sister has corrected my pronunciation several times, because I was saying some Italian words with an English inflection.

    Ha! Rogy American women LOVE an Italian accent, and American men love it when women speak with an Italian accent!
