"bodega, bodega, bodega...topekam topeka, topeka... <BR/><BR/>yea it wasn't until i got to college that i realized i had a New Yorker/Dominican/height-ish accent. One of my cousins went to college with me and I remember one of the girls saying that we talked exaaactly the same. <BR/><BR/>ditto to what jay said about african accents. I've seen people at work react the same way.

(pronounced more like CHEYLA!) ...Good stuff SHEILA! (pronounced more like CHEYLA!) When I read the line about the red sportscar I thought becuase you are pretty hyper and full of emotion, L. <BR/><BR/>But you're right, we should not be ashamed of the way we speak or how we pronouce our words. It is a reflection of who we are. I don't think it will hold you or any of us back because our accents are not that bad. The ones who I think should worry are the ones who speak with an African and Indian/Middle Eastern accent. I've worked with people who have those accents and people give them a hard time as if they are speaking in another language. Sometimes it is hard to understand them pero ni pa tanto!<BR/><BR/>Anyways, I would not worry too much about accents, in the end your hard work and dedication will be what separates you from everyone else...if not call your crew and we'll do some intimidation :-)Jay!https://www.blogger.com/profile/01027474441694973254noreply@blogger.com
