How is your accent with the languages you've learned? I mean, do you think you could pass for a native speaker?
I think the problem for the writer is they cannot say their name in the native accent.
A similar but opposite example would be: a person from India who cannot say certain English words without an Indian accent.
- Affric 3y agoEnglish is my first language (I don't say native as no one is born speaking a language). In English, I sound Australian in Australia but in Scotland sound like a Scot. My Spanish accent is pretty good, Latinos say I sound like a person from Spain. People from Spain say I sound like a news reader. My Portuguese accent is a lot dicier because I have learnt it from more people from many different regions of Brazil. I believe I could clean it up. You could put all this down to moving around as a child but really I have simply just attempted very hard to imitate the sounds I am hearing and have refused to be satisfied with less than the phoneme I am hearing.
