The way she said "New York", "kind", and "pleasure" just floored me it was so cute. Man that made my day.

Interesting, I'm reminded of Euro Trip here, the german chick (you know, the one the whole movie was about?) in there didn't have too bad an accent.

(like our English is less "colourful" than Newfoundlander's )

Colourful? Suuure, let's call them "colourful."

She says "the" like almost every other french native: "ze," but she pronounces "that" without a zed? Now I'm lost. Edit: Ok, now I'm not lost, shes not french :/

French sounds million times sexier !

British English sounds horrible, I think... most of their accents, I mean.. Since there's million different kind of them anyways.

Out of all French accents, I think the Corsican one is the best. I don't so much like the parisien accent (tho, it's easier to understand ! ). Might be because I like very much Italian language, and Corsican accent has influenced by it a lot. And I like how smooth the Corsican accent is !


I remember last year when I went to eat at uni and suddenly two French chicks sits next to for coffee and started to talk French (not parisien, not corsican but some other accent in between). I like fall in trance and stared far away and listened their speaking the next 30 mins, until they finally took off. My food was already cold by then... but damn... it was worth it.

Only if I could have gotten word out of my mouth and talk to them...

Am I the only one who can't hear the Corsican accent?
Or is it a trick that only foreigners can catch?
Maybe sometimes Alizée has a little weird way to speak and sometimes she "eats" some of her words (still, not that much) but I'm very positive that it's herself only, not an accent, and nothing I heard in other Corsicans' mouths, either politic or showbiz people.

You should watch her English movies.

Like Dirty pretty things, which is one of my favorites from her. Her accent is very sweet !

Btw, that youtube clip is old. She speaks much better English nowadays (watch for example Da Vinci Code)

edit:
Ah... I just realized that the clip above is from the DVD extras of Dirty pretty things.

She says she has a turkish accent in the video :/

Now I'm even more confused than I was earlier...

Between these two I'd say French. In general I have quite a thing for European accents and European women in general .

Her character is from Turkey in that movie she is talking about (which is Dirty Pretty Things).
