My least favourites are:
- Any other GB accent
- Any other North American accent
- Irish (I honestly can't even tell they're speaking English)
- Australian

This is always a possibility. I have a friend in Melbourne who also has trouble telling that I'm kiwi - but then he's got a kiwi mother, so you're probably right.basica wrote:I grew up with some maori friends from NZ so perhaps that long term exposure made it difficult for me to distinguish?

Neighbors is an American movie with one Australian in the cast. You can probably do better than that.

Nope, it's a 30 season drama (drama being a fad euphemism for soap opera)
