: I don't think your accent is important, whether or not you are out socialising : or you are in class. I feel that what's most important is that you are able : to speak clearly and in a manner in which people understand what you are trying : to get at. I am disgusted by people who try to speak with an American or a : British accent, when it doesn't come naturally. They sound absolutely terrible : and they think they sound like a caucasian. What's the point of mimicking an ^^^^^^^^^^^ sometimes....just think it naturally, without hatred. Some people unfortunately grew up in English speaking country, and happen to have caucasian accent. For example, those American born Chinese. Neither of these accent are inferior or superior. As long as it come out naturally it's fine. I think the premise is very simple. Do not look down on others just like how you don't want to be looked down upon. Accent does not matter that much in English communication, instead, we should learn to appreciate the diversity of accents, and think of the variety as a beauty in life. :) : accent? So that you'll be seen as equal? Oh puh-leeeese. : Just get your grammer and your pronunciation right, and you'll be fine. Even if : your pronunciation is not accurate, it's still not as bad as mimicking an : accent. I think people who mimic an American or British accent ridicule : themselves in the process. : What is the natural english accent in the first place? It's the same as asking : which form of English is the most accurate one? British English? American : English? Australian English? : Am I crapping? -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 75.43.42.119 ※ 編輯: celestial09 來自: 75.43.42.119 (10/17 06:21)
