It's a lot more cringeworthy when people try really hard to sound British because they want to seem sophisticated

All accent imitations are cringeworthy to people who are familiar with the genuine accent.

FYI, it's called the "Valley Girl" accent and very few girls speak that way anymore except in a mocking and sarcastic tone imitating a dumb girl.

I always laugh when Europeans speak with a British Accent, cucks. Just speak English in your own accent, we understand you just fine,no need to show off how good and fancy of an English speaker you are, nobody cares.

>>52198920
If they did a British one, people wouldn't be able to understand them.

Americans speak more clearly.

this may sound shocking to monolingual speakers, but part of being proficient in another language means pronouncing its phonemes correctly as well as using the proper stress.

not just lazily using your native language's pronunciations when speaking another language because that's,you know... wrong. People don't speak with a British or American or whatever accent, they're trying to speak the way the language is meant to be spoken

>speaking English in your own accent

People learn the accent they were taught in you spastic. Most people see/hear American media and most English teachers are going to be American, not British.

It's actually quite strange how few non-native speakers try to lose their accent totally.

I mean, compared to the amount of Americans and Brits that put enormous emphasis on mimicking the native accent of languages that they learn.

I mean, some do go to classes to lose their accent, but mostly they just die having their original accent and their kids just grow up having an American accent.

wow, big deal, that's learning english on easy mode
>>
>>52210127
Because it's not exactly easy to do it.

Anglos don't really do it either, you can still hear their accents unless they really try.

I mean I have a neighbor who lived in florida until she was about 8 or so, and ten or fifteen years later you can still hear it. And you know that kids pick things like that up much faster.

yes, imitating a """british accent"""
