Every-body has an accent. The way how some-one speaks, reveals where their ancestors came from.An accent does not make a person better than any other. How-ever if accents is the issue I love the Jamaican accent. Jamaicans talk real pretty.

Actually, they talk how others in their environment talk. I spoke with a southern accent for 12 years and moved to nevada, my accent was gone in a year. When I came back to the south I thought everyone spoke funny. Now i've got my accent back. Give people a break. If the worst thing they do is talk ghetto, that's awesome. Things could be worse.

I am british and we hear your accent the same as you do, its just we are not used to it so we know you are from america, its because we are so accustomed to our own accent that when we hear others we find them different and strange.

Does it make a difference whether the anglophone is a Brit, a Canadian, an Irishman, or an American?   \n\n(I can't imagine how an Aussie's French would sound!)

Definitely the southern accent is the most noticeable, and has plenty of its own words and culture to back it up.  Even that is split up between different areas - Texas, Louisiana, and Florida included. They stretch out their words longer.\n\nFollowing that, the Northeastern accents - Boston, New York, Philadelphia and the like. They tend to say their o's differently at least in Philadelphia, and Boston they drop their r's. The TV show Law and Order shows examples of New York accents.\n\nLastly, the Midwestern accents, which are a mix of Scandinavian and Canadian influences into American English.  One movie that shows this well is "Drop Dead Gorgeous."

Pesonally, I would work to lose any accent at all... that people should fit in because of who they are and not how they sound.  Be friendly, but maintain distance.  Feel free to comment on anything, but don't sustain a conversation.  \n\nPlease be yourself.

After being around someone who has an accent, you begin to also have one. It's completely natural. You adapt to your surroundings.

I quite like the Australian accent, but I really hate the South African one!\n\nScottish is nice, as long as it's not too difficult to understand and I also quite like some American accents (not Southern though)

I vote for emphatic British English , by FAR the most beautiful in my ears.  I just love the rhythm & cadence & intonation of strong British erudite English.  The formalism of it.is so charming.\ncoming in second place to me is the High-German language.   so forceful & direct & powerful.  Makes anything you say sound like a command.  German is a no-nonsense language ideal for military & discipline & command.  and I like that.  \n\nI find the Romance languages boring.  I am not interested in the so-called Mediterranean culture.  I was raised in so-called Eastern mediterranean culture & I didn't care for it.  \n\nI also am charmed by the sounds of Swedish,& Norwegian - also very partial to the sounds of Korean& japanese.& Russian.  I love the cadence & the way they resonate.   And I also am fascinated by the sound of the Greek language in songs & speeches.\n\nI'm sick &tired of hearing how great French & italian are.  I want to differ sharply from this.

>>>>>How do British accents vary?\n\nThat’s a hell of a question. How would you answer the question “How do US accents vary?” The answer is pretty much the same. And of course you can’t really describe an accent in print.\n\n>>>>>I've heard that they can reveal your social standing but in what way? \n\nThe same way they can  in the US or almost any other part of the world. Accents are tied to geographic location. Some geographic locations are primarily populated by poor people. Those children form that area that are educated outside will lose their accent so the accent comes to be associated ONLY with poor people. When you hear  that accent  you can pretty much guarantee the person in poor. Conversely some accents are associated with areas populated by rich people, or even with specific private schools. If you hear that accent you can guess  the person has or at least had money.\n\nBut as I say, England is neither better nor worse than the US in this respect these days. \n\nWhat do you think of when you here the classic Robert de Niro Brooklyn accent? Is it the accent of a college professor or a taxi driver?  A stockbroker or a steelworker?\n\nHow about the classic Boston accent of the Kennedies, Mayor Quimby) or Frasier? ? Is it the accent of a college professor or a taxi driver?  A stockbroker or a steelworker?\n\nAnd the list goes on. Appalachian accents are strongly associated with poor rural, Southern accents with strong diction are associated with wealth and refinement whereas southern accents with dropped letters is associated with poverty, the Jersey Accent is associated with the upper working classes etc.\n\nIn England you would say that a West End Cockney accent was the same as a Bronx accent.  An Oxford accent the same as a Classic Boston Accent. A Yorkshire accent the same as an Appalachian accent. A Scouse accent the same as a Jersey accent. Those pairs of accents mean almost exactly the same thing in their respective countries. And they are all reveal the social standing of the speaker.\n\n Of course it isn’t perfect. There are Liverpuddlians who have become multi-billionaires just as numerous people who grew up in Brooklyn have made lots of money. But as a general rule those accents tell you where people are socially even more where they came from. \n\nThese days the utility of accents at defining social position is fading in Britain just as it is fading in the US. Prior to WWII in both the US and England if you moved up the social ladder you made a conscious effort to lose your accent if it wasn’t appropriate. These days people tend to be more proud of the fact that they have moved up and don’t make the attempt to disguise it so much.
