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?

    I don’t think any country has ‘a view’ on the way to speak their language. I mean, would there be a law, some rules and sanctions against accents?

    People may have their own opinion on the matter but that opinion will vary widely from one person to the other.

    My opinion, which was already mentioned in another comment, is that anyone making fun on someone speaking a foreign language can (and should) go funk themselves.

    We should welcome those kind of efforts instead of mocking them, and we should also be happy to be encouraged to speak more foreign languages ourselves. I say that as I a French that’s poorly speaking a few languages and would love to speak a lot more.
