Original question by @RicoPeru@lemmy.blahaj.zone

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?

    Anyone judging anyone else making the effort to speak their language can fuck off. It takes a lot of time and effort to learn a language let alone embed yourself into another culture .

        My wife experienced this too despite speaking 3 languages and is currently learning her forth. We live in an age of ignorance unfortunately. Eu também falo e não é uma língua fácil de aprender.

            Você fala muito bem, eu também não sou nativo, aprendi por causa dela. Ela é brasileira e eu também adoro o país. Me sinto em casa lá.
