Never apologize for your accent. Italians don’t apologize for their accent. Or french. Or Spanish people.
Speak your local language with pride.
And even in life, remember you are unique and special.
Never apologize for who you are.
It’s an extremely deep sense of inferiority and low self-esteem that makes Africans work extra hard to sound fake like a deported American.
Why are you trying to sound British?
The British never try to sound like you if/when they learn your language.
You have not been to the airport before.
You don’t know what a visa looks like.
The closest you have seen of a foreign country is in movies and music videos.
But you are there in Anloga trying so hard to talk like someone in Ontario.
To what end exactly?
And for what purpose?
Some of you will go and pay millions per session to put your children in pseudo-standard schools that all they do for your kids is force them to learn a silly accent.
Sometimes you can see the child is poor academically, you say nothing, as long as “accent”.
Who bewitched you?
At restaurants, at hotels, at bars,
Anywhere that has a little bit of class or looks exotic in Africa has everybody trying their best to put their “foreign accents” on. Just ridiculous.
TV channels presenters
Radio stations hosts
Movie actors and actresses…Like almost everyone is just trying to sound “foreign”- and you can see it is forced and fake- it’s just too funny.
Why do you hate your accent so much you will rather sound like a clown to appear foreign?
And for real guys, it’s okay if you have a foreign accent- good luck to you.
The problem is with those working so hard to have it and who assume that they are inferior and their lives will be worth more if only they had a foreign accent. Those are the really miserable people.
Chinese people will speak English with a Chinese tone. Same as Italians and French people. They never apologize for anything.
We should learn that.
Teach yourself and your kids that you are not inferior because of how you sound. And you should never apologize for who you are.
