What to do when someone comments on your foreign accent in English
In this video, I talk about having a foreign accent in the US and what to do when someone comments on your accent. I also discuss accent bias and discrimination, and why so many nonnative speakers of English want to acquire a native-like pronunciation.

I was born here and I’m a native English speaker, and people use to ask me all the time while I was growing up “where are you from” and I would say “America” and they would say “no, where are you really from.” It hardly ever happens anymore. It was mostly a boomer phenomenon.
Great content!! 🔥🔥

Thank you. I’m glad you like it :)
When someone speaks in English in front of me, I feel as if someone is staring at me with a stick. This is not my only language, it is a second language for me, the national language of my country is Hindi. We were never taught English properly in school, I find it difficult to understand this language, When I watch this language with subtitles, I start getting headaches because I still don't understand anything. People born in America can speak English better because it is their mother tongue. You can learn by listening. If you do not understand anything by listening then how will you feel, and you will know its meaning in your own language, only then you will be able to answer. I gave up language because of grammar,
