American or British accent? Why?
Personally, I prefer an American accent to a British one. Since I was inspired to learn English by those American singers and stars, the American accent seems much easier for me. I find the British accent interesting, yet it is a bit difficult to speak out or even to listen. LOL However, I oftentimes speak in a mixed accent despite the fact that I get familiar with the American one. I think I will be trying to imitate a proper British accent so that I will be able to understand those who speak with this accent. What about yours?

Re: American or British accent? Why?
This is very controversial that English does not consist of just two accents.
Even America does not have official language. Though we must think about world Englishes.
I personally do not focus too much on specific accent since we mingle them all to be our own accent.
I tend to prefer American to British accent since it is easy to comprehend.
However, it does not matter using one accent.
Both are perfect.

Re: American or British accent? Why?
I was born to speak American accent, I would say.
It am used to American pronunciation whether speaking or listening.
More than that American accent is easier and more natural to speak out at all time.

Re: American or British accent? Why?
Well, I don't even have to think about the answer. It is absolutely American accent.
American accent is very easy to listen while British accent is unclear and messy for me.
I think I begin praticing my listening skill with American accent so I prefer the accent.
I may say that I get used to American accent.

Re: American or British accent? Why?
Such a lovely question! I love both American and British accents. I used to speak in American accent since I first studied Phonetics. However, recently, I change of heart. British accent is my preference since I find it interesting and charismatic. Although British is now my go-to accent, I still switch into American accent since some words are easier to be pronounced.

Re: American or British accent? Why?
For me, I prefer American Accent because I think it is normally be used in most of Thai people. I love American accent because I
used to it and it is very easy to pronouce the words. Both American and British accent have something in detailed. So as we are country adopping
their langauge, sometimes we use both without knowing it.

Re: American or British accent? Why?
My answer is an American accent because it is easy to speak and listen. Personally, I love the singers, actors and songs from Hollywood, USA. So, I am inspired to learn this accent by these things. In my opinion, I think a British accent is attractive especially the queen accent. I tried to speak this one, but it is quite difficult for me. Thus, I prefer to speak and listen to an American accent.

Personally, I prefer American accent because it makes me understand easier. When I have to pay attention with the tract that spoken in English, I can perceive the information from American accent much more the British accent. I don't know why, too.

Re: American or British accent? Why?
Personally, I prefer American accent because it is very easier for understanding in many skill. It is easier because it has rules less than British accent. Another reason is movies. I love watching movie for practicing my English skill and most of movies that I watch are American accent. So, I receive American accent from them. By the way every accents are acceptable for me.

Re: American or British accent? Why?
This is very interesting topic. There are a lot of controversy or agruements. Agruement from people in every another side of the world. In my opinion, I think we should focus on world English language because there are many accents that can be communicated from them.

Re: American or British accent? Why?
I prefer British accent. One of the reason is my dad, he is British. And I love to watch series with British accent such as "Downtown Abbey". It is hard to speak English with British accent. Normally, I speak both American and British accent. American accent is easier to pronounce and understand. So I speak English with the American accent more than British accent.

Re: American or British accent? Why?
I must say that I like both of them. For American, it is very easy to understand.
For British, I like it because it is the original accent of English.

Re: American or British accent? Why?
I cannot tell you about my accent exactly. I think that I use both of these accents. Sometimes, I think that the British accent is wonderful and I want to speak like the British people. There is also sometimes that I use a lot of American accents. It just depends on my moods and the ways to speak. I cannot use just only one accent to speak. I think that we can combine it to make your way in speaking.

Re: American or British accent? Why?
Personally, I like the British accent to the American accent. However, I am not necessary to imitate whose accent. The pronunciation plays an important role of speaking English. So, be natural and be yourself with clear pronunciation is better than worry about accent.

Re: American or British accent? Why?
I would say I love both American and British accent.
When I was in first and second year, my accent is almost British but now I think American is suitable for me.
Anyway, sometimes I use both. hahaha

Re: American or British accent? Why?
I am totally staying strong with the British accent!!!!!!! I can say.
But I don't know why whenever I have to speak it is going to be like American accent.
I think because it is easier to pronounce but if I like to speak for all my life it is going to be a British accent for sure.
I love this accent with my heart.

I really do not want to choose a side. I love my Thai accent too.

Re: American or British accent? Why?
Well... If you asked me what does the accent that I prefer, I would tell you that I love how people speak in British accent. Actually, I cannot speak English as British accent as well, but I believe that people have their own accent. I am the one who want to try to speak in many accents. As my friends have known well, I usually speak in Filipino accent. However, I try to hard to speak in British or American accents as normal people. Then I understood that every accents are beautiful on their own.
