If you’re from a different country, it’s not always obvious that accents differ by region. However, England indeed has many different accents and dialects. Americans just happen to find their accent attractive because they speak English, but perhaps in a more sophisticated-sounding way. Do the English find American accents sexy? Based on the number of British people making fun of American accents, maybe not!
