I rather speak British English. Just because the pronouncement is more beautiful. And it just sound better.

As for the pure sound of it, then I agree. British English is more beautiful. Heck, they invented it.quote:Op zaterdag 2 januari 2016 18:09 schreef Molurus het volgende:

As for understanding it, I prefer the American accent.

British English, by far. Even Scottish English is prettier to hear than American, imo.

When Americans speak English, they sound like foreigners, not like native speakers.
When Brits try to write English, they should be sent back to school and learn some basic grammar (you don't want to know how often I've seen "its" and "it's" mixed up by them).

I see a trend where people in the Netherlands take on a Eastern European, Slavic of German accent in English. To make themselves more understandable to Eastern European workers.

I also like the Scottish accent.
