Answer 1

Answer 2

I love theRep of  Ireland accent, but Northern Ireland is a different story. It's hard to understand and they all sound like IRA terrorists.

Answer 3

Oh yes I just love being lectured to, by the likes of Geldoff and "Bono".

Answer 4

I do like the Irish accents. I visit quite often so I am beginning to know the different ones. I just find some of them hard to understand but it is mainly when people speak too quickly, I find the Belfast one the worst for that.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Very much so!

Answer 7

I have a s**y Derry and Galway accent! I prefer my Derry half though but it's stating to lessen! :o(

Answer 8

I love it!

Answer 9

Southern Irish, yes. I find Northern Irish sounds too harsh.

Answer 10

I agree, the Northern accent can be a bit hard. However, I live near Cork and Kerry and I have no problem with the accents there. And I'm from the South-East originally, but never picked up the local accent. I'm not fond of it at all.

It also depends on what's being said with that accent of course :)

Answer 19

when I first came here (Dublin) I couldn't barely undestand the people, not only because my own English was lousy back then (I'm afraid that it's still lousy. Grrr), but because the accent is very thick. But I'm already use to it and now I find it lovely.
