Yesterday I attended my evening lesson of CPE English and it was very cool. We practised pronunciation and our teacher performed different British accents starting with his own accent (suburban London), continuing with SW England, Wales, Scotland, northern England, finishing with Irish. It was HILARIOUS. Several peolple in our group were living in UK and the subtle shades of accents can be perceived. My accent (I have never been to an English speaking country) was compared to James Bond (no remarkable accent).

My questions: What are your accents like? Which accents do you like? How about American English? Is it sometimes tough to understand a specific accent?
