Don't Lose Your Accent Campaign Video
Показать описание
“ʏᴏᴜʀ ꜱᴛᴜᴘɪᴅ ᴀᴄᴄᴇɴᴛ ᴍᴀᴋᴇꜱ ᴍᴇ ꜱɪᴄᴋ!”
Have you ever tried speaking English with a native speaker, knowing your words were correct, but the person couldn’t understand your accent? You even feel bad for not being understood. After all, if a native speaker can't comprehend you, there must be something wrong with you, right? Wrong!
Regrettably, linguistic discrimination is prevalent and often disguised as humor through memes or entertainment, like in the contest for “America’s Ugliest Accent.”
Unknowingly, racial minorities and immigrants, whose accents are generally recognized as "non-standard," are severely afflicted by these prejudices.
THIS MUST STOP. No accent needs correcting. There is no such thing as a universal accent!
Discrimination in all forms is discrimination, and it must not be tolerated.
Remember, how we speak are windows to our culture; it is a reflection of our being.
So instead of laughing at someone with a foreign accent, admire the richness of linguistic diversity!
This campaign exists to pave way for discussions and awareness against linguistic stigma.
Together, let’s make the world a safer space to express and communicate.
Join our journey to understanding the world better, one accent at a time.
