Episode #17 - Your accent is your identity


Listen Later

In today's episode you will listen to a conversation that I had with my Indian friend Sandeep Lokala. Sandeep was born in the city of Hyderabad in the south of India and he imigrated to the United States in 2007. Sandeep speaks amazing English - but with an Indian accent.


I invited him to share his perspectives on the matter of losing your accent because, just as me, he also doesn't believe you need to lose you accent when you speak a foreign language - that's why I thought he could be of great contribution with his personal experiences and points of view.

Your accent is part of your identity. It's part of who you are and it tells where you come from. Unless you start learning a foreign language at the very early stages of your life, you will most likely have an accent forever - and that is totally okay.
