what is your country's view on speaking the native language with a foreign accent?
a lot of people here in the united states find it attractive to have a foreign accent (although depending on what it is they could hate it too). what about your country?
does it depend? what accents don't they like if it depends?
I know that people in English speaking countries tend to like German accents, can't really imagine why, though. I'm trying my best to lose the thing lol
Over here in Germany people seem to like British accents I guess. God forbid you've got an eastern European or even just an east German accent, though, there's a ton of people with prejudice against that.
Not many accents I don't like.
Love Russian, French, Turkish, French Canadian, Bosnian, Japanese, kiwi, Spanish, Taiwanese. Many more.
However... That full Australian nasal is just too much to bear. I'm Australian by the way.
I was in Turkey this week and an Aussie lady screached "TONY! TONY!!! THERE'S A SEAT UP HERE!!!!!" on a tour bus.
Half of the bus turned around in horror, to try and understand what just happened, and where that bizarre and horrible sound had come from.
If you have a British or American accent, people will find it cute. If you have an eastern European or middle Eastern accent, not so much.
I think mexican accent can be the most hated... easily
U.S., they say "Speak English!!!" a lot when they hear someone with a Mexican accent
I can't speak for others but I go through phases of enjoying the sound of different accents. I'm currently loving Indian.
They'll immediately switch to English.
