In Colombia, we have snobbery around accents, and this is still a way to be discriminated against and looked down on. When I came to London, I was ashamed of my accent and felt intimidated by people’s high tone of voice. Now that I think about it foreign English students are taught the British “Cut glass accent” at college and I love it! But the most important point here is to be understood.
Not sure if this is the case for everyone but in Latin groups, it is very likely to be discriminated against when speaking in English.❤
