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! |

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

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. 'Magically Delicious' |

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.

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. 'Magically Delicious' |
