In British accent^x, American accents^x

Yes. Iam an english person and i find the american accent the most easiest to put on, however when hearing americans put on an english accent, it sounds terrible!!!

Dear CalifJim, Thanks for the comment. Casi and some of the friends here reminded us that of some communities that would learn the British accent easier than the American. Actually, it depends on their first language to feel more comfortable with one of these, rather than the other. For example,...

Hiya. I've only been to the U.S. once and it's a shame, because I can't help but think that the full range of american accents are less than well represented on British T.V, which is the only genre through which most of us get to hear them. In any case, to anyone wondering whether they'd...

Dear KalifJim, I believe you, it's no need to swear. I only want to say something out of my own personal experience.

In answer to the original question: LOL I think there are heaps of English bands that don't sound American. All of Britpop for a start! And I'm a kiwi and I can only sorta tell the difference between some American accents(all though i can pick out the different British ones thanks to watching...
