English Accents
Hello everyone, how are you today? I think that I'm improving my English with italki but there's still a field in English where I still have some work to do. I'm talking here about "my listening skills". I wonder how there can be so many accents for only one language. Sometimes, I listen to a movie and I catch almost all of what they say, and some other times I'll catch almost nothing. I don't want to vaunt praise the British but I think they have the best accent because they speak so clearly and well with a good output. On the another hand, I sometimes catch what Americans says but as far as I'm concerned, the Scots have one of the most difficult accents.
So, give me your opinion. Which is the best accent and which is the worst? (And don't forget to provide a correction)
You really need to pay attention to punctuation and capital letters. Neglecting them makes an otherwise good essay look quite poor.
It's no surprise that a widespread language with no governing body has so many variations. It's a little ironic that you toted British as the best accent, because that tiny country also has the most dialects. I assume you mean the RP accent.
I'm Australian, but the way I speak is deliberately British. There are certain accents in other countries which I think are lovely, but others (in the same countries) do grate on my ears. Each to their own, I suppose.

I have nothing to correct, you can paraphrase it, but it's written well. By my opinion British English is really easy to learn, and Scottish is very, very hard, they completely twist the words. I also don't like any kind of American accents, they sound too soft. :)
