#so it's extremely difficult to 'get rid' of your native accent as an adult
Text
when will people realize that it’s perfectly normal and natural to speak a foreign language with a foreign accent as long as you are understood
#talking about non-native speakers judging other non-native speakers by their english accent lol#it's funny bc I've never met a native speaker of English who would have a problem with that#but polish speakers judging other polish speakers by their english accents? yep I hear it all the time#as someone who spent a lot of time studying english and polish phonetics & phonology I hate it when people do that because#most of the time they have no idea how different our sound systems are#there are only two sounds that are pronounced exactly the same way in both languages!#so it's extremely difficult to 'get rid' of your native accent as an adult#pronunciation is one thing and it's super important to get it right but#accents are natural and literally everyone has an accent#sorry for my rant but I'm just so done with ppl assuming that someone has poor language skills because they don't have a 'native' accent#whatever that is really
