As a New Jersyan, I find the Brooklyn NY accent difficult to listen to. Some of the really deep Southern accents are unpleasant as well, but what do I know, I'm a "Joisy" girl.

Any language or dialect spoken nasally is horrible.

I'm an Aussie, and once on another website I asked if I could practise speaking Australian as I was planning to visit Australia soon.

I spoke fast, nasally Australian and I sounded exactly like the people whom I was conversing with.

I got booted! I guess they didn't like the way they sounded either!

Right here in Ireland.

I meet people every day and I don't have a clue what they're saying.

The raw Dublin accent is bad, but at least understandable.
The Cork accent is... amusing, but somewhat comprehensible.

But head into the wilds of the midlands and they may as well be speaking Martian.

Well I'm from Galway and I believe I speak with a pretty neutral accent.

That said I have been told I sound slightly American... too much TV as a child most likely.

A lot of Galway people have this weird posh accent, like "ya ya darling" but that's probably a leftover from when we were rich and thought we were hot shit.

I've heard Irish people that I thought were American. Some parts of Ireland maybe? Also have read that the NY accent was heavily influenced by Irish immigrants.

That's just jealousy because Galway is such an awesome party town full of hot students, drugs and music.

Galways is like the Bohemian capital of Ireland, we're neck deep in poets and artists and musicians and shit.

So yeah, it can get pretty pretentious at times but trust me, if you're at a party in Ireland... the last man standing is gonna be from Galway.

Also where I live is a haunt for celebrity types from all over the world because nobody gives a fuck who they are.

Quentin Tarintino once had a beer in my local all by himself, no entourage or whatever and people were like "who's the loner in the corner?"

"Oh it's yer man who did Pulp Fiction... anyway is anyone playing darts or what?"

If that was Dublin, poor fucker would have been swamped by assholes.
