    For me, Irish and Australian sounds best. As for non-English speaking countries, I'd say German and East Slavic (in general). In case of East Slavic (Belarus, Ukraine, Russia), the only thing that annoys me is "they" read as "zey".

    I don't actually know how mine sounds. I used to hear it a lot on studies, but never paid attention when, somehow, I arrived on classes".

    I find French accents really attractive on women.



    On the other end of the spectrum South African accents make me want to punch things

    Funniest/Strangest i've heard IRL - generic American (too surreal, feel like i'm in a movie), Dutch, Japanese, Scouse.
    LOL American. It's probably because so many movies are made in America, it must feel like we are Aliens when you meet one of us and hear our voice. When I meet a Brit, they become a local celebrity because everyone loves an English, Scottish, etc. accent.

    Miten menee, suomalaiset? Jos haluat puhua suomea, lähetä viesti minulle.

    I've noticed this. I met a women with a Scottish accent not too long ago and my grandma couldn't understand a word she said. She just nodded along lol. I understood though. But vice versa, Scots can pretty much always understand Americans, right?

    Not difficult. But I bet there will be some regional accents we'd struggle with in the South somewhere. Like in Appalachia we share some slang words, others not.

    South African sounds like the Australians mixed with the Dutch accents.

    Yes! And then a little American too IMO. And the extent to which it sounds like each one can change several times within a sentence.
