One of the nicest accents I heard was in Paris spoken by a French man who had learnt English from a Scottish friend an amazing piece of music to the ears :)

Blimey.. lots of haters on the French accent! Make sure to never book me then! (y)
We do have a strong accent when we speak English. I wish I could know what an English accent sounds like on someone speaking French but unfortunately I haven't heard many English speak in French. We're even expected to speak/understand English in our own country, but at least we make the effort :P
I'm not going to say which accents I hate the most as I don't think I hate any but I do love Scottish accents! :D
The French accent is lush and so sexy! We Brits are very lazy when it comes to learning and speaking languages other than our own unfortunately - in fact, some of us are very lazy when trying to speak English!!

In ASDA at the self serve till the automated voice telling you to put your items in the baggage area! It must be someone's voice but it is really irritating and I respond "I know, I know"!

Paul Archer Photography Aaah it's good to hear that there's some lovers of the French accent too! ��
Hahaha! yes that is true :P but that's because most people in the world can speak English! French is actually pretty hard to learn!

Thousands of very young French children learn it every year, so it can't be that bad ;-)

My osteopath is a rather attractive French woman. True to form, she has a stonkingly seductive accent. With that accent, when she says 'Meester Smith - take your clothes off and lay down for me' in that accent, I'm in heaven. :)
I've got fifteen appointments next week.

Not many I do not like. But top 3 for speaking English are:
1: French
2: Spanish
3: Eastern European.

Not the worst accent but a slightly amusing story.
A couple a years ago I had the shepherd the Hyundai CEO on an event, along with his entourage. My main ‘English’ speaking contact was a Korean guy, he looked very Korean but when he talked I found it weird as his ‘English’ was not only American English but with a very strong French accent
