The accent.
Three days ago, I spoke with a new conversation partner. She is an Irish girl.
Before our skype meeting, I was afraid of her having some kind of Irish accent. Ok, that's ridiculous, I know. But still, when I was in London on last November, I was struggling because of Londoner's Cockney accent. Even when I've got to order a beer, I was like : "Sorry sir, I can't hear you with that noise" or "it's very noisy here, what did you say?". It makes me laugh right now but I didn't hear about that cockney accent before I came to London (I maybe was the only one on eartch who didn't know that ahah).
But let's get back to the conversation with my new partner. We spoke about accent and she gave youtube links with Irish's accents. Yes, accents, with a S. You can find any kinds of accent : northern, southern, etc... I've spent an hour after the conversation to watch videos and read articles about accent : it's quite interesting.
Anyway, my Irish friend did not have any accent. At all... :)

Très bien! Ton anglais est merveilleux. J'aime beaucoup les accents aussi. J'ai trouvé un vidéo sur YouTube qui se concerne avec les accents régionals de la France - c'est tellement intéressant:

I know a girl with a Northern Irish accent. She has a sweet voice, but her accent makes her sound cuter, haha.

I don't believe she had no accent! Maybe compared to Cockney, it was easy ;)
