14 elements that make the Irish accent irresistible

Quare sexy.

AMERICAN MEN ARE apparently being coached in the ways of the Irish accents in order to swoon woman. The Mirror reports that the University of Houston’s Jim Johnson runs a service online to help men who want to improve their chances with the Irish birds.

Can we blame them? There are some many excellent upsides.

1. The admirable ability to change entire accents depending on who you’re with

Get heavier or lighter depending on which part of the country you’re in. So considerate.

2. The fact that we must speak at the speed of lightening

Luckily it sounds so soothing, as nobody caught a word of it.
