Re: Severe Accent
Well it’s such a superficial reason though. So many good functional successful healthy happy families have a parent with an accent. Between my mom and my dad, my dad speaks great English (you’d never think he was Pakistani), but my mom has the typical Pakistani grammar from Karachi (ex. You stupid!). She has fixed some of her words because we kids would correct her like “ammi, say it like this, not like that”. But overall , you can tell it’s a Pakistani accent.
So I’m comfortable with those Karachi type accents.
But this guy - man, he sounds like he’s from Kerala cuz he works with people from there, so he picks up their way of talking.
Happens, I worked with a Swedish group once, and I was picking up their accent. Another time, I lived with a Canadian, and people still say I pronounce some words like a Canadian.
I dunno, I’m gonna meet the guy. Give him a chance.
I think it’s great that you’re giving him a chance. Sounds like this could be something you could just get over since you seem to be fine with most of the other stuff.
