a lot of people here in the united states find it attractive to have a foreign accent (although depending on what it is they could hate it too). what about your country?

does it depend? what accents don't they like if it depends?

I know that people in English speaking countries tend to like German accents, can't really imagine why, though. I'm trying my best to lose the thing lol

Over here in Germany people seem to like British accents I guess. God forbid you've got an eastern European or even just an east German accent, though, there's a ton of people with prejudice against that.
