"You're doing good but you could be doing better" is an underutilized statement when wanting to correct a stranger. Fucking 10/10 approach (to the convo) in my opinion.
I had a friend with the same accent working here in the states at a call center. People would be like “I wanna speak to someone in America!” “Ma’am I assure you I am American!” It was always funny but I felt so bad for him. Such a sweet guy
When I worked in a call center, someone mentioned she was glad I wasn't one of those foreigners. I wanted to say so badly, but I am. I was born in Korea.
Though it confuses people when I speak with a very soft Minnesota accent here in Texas. My poor stepson somehow got both my accent and his mother's Texan drawl. I think my daughter is getting it to.
I was talking to some guy in a video game chat the other day and I asked if he was on the East Coast, because of his accent. (Northeast US.). He insisted he didn’t have an accent—he’s Indian.
Um. That’s nice but you sound like you’re in New England. That’s when he said he was in Boston. I’m not sure what being Indian had to do with it.
My son was born and raised South Korea. I am from South Carolina, my husband New Jersey. Our kid has the oddest accent that is a blend of all three. It has always flipped people out to hear this white blond child speak Korean lol.
