Do you know any Koreans with strange accents? I met a (delightfully flirty) Korean girl who had a Liverpudlian English accent. Hearing a girl who looked.. well.. Korean, in a very Korean town, in a very Korean province, speak english to me like she just strolled out of a Beatles gig in the Cavern was bizarre.

Most Koreans with very good english seem to have a standard North American accent though =( do any have a Newfie accent? or a down-home Alabama accent? or a c-o-c-k-n-e-y accent? or sound like a Pikey? or a Bogan?

I've known of a few Koreans with some strong Irish tendancies actually.. but they were kids with an Irish teacher so it'll probably get knocked out of them before they grow up =(

Any funny accents?

None like that. But a majority of Koreans have funny enough accents when they speak English anyway.

btw, nice avatar. She (Angela Lovelle) would be flattered to find out that you used her picture for her avatar. Razz
