I have many Indian friends, roommates, and classmates in Canada. And while some have more neutral accents than others, I can say that among all international students their accent is one of the most difficult to understand. They are very expressive and their train of thought is really spontaneous, they have a wide range of vocabulary too, but I don't agree with the guys saying their accent is better than other accents.

In my opinion, the ultimate goal of studying a language is to communicate with people abroad easier and to remove that small barrier between you and other diverse cultures, meaning that caring so much about your accent is totally useless. If you actually could express your thoughts and feelings freely, you've obviously accomplished the main goal.

[@kaynkayn9870]

Yeah, and accents stop you from achieving that goal. Imagine my shock when I got to Scotland, wtf are they saying??? "Americanized" English seems to be a middle ground where it is easiest to understand by most if not all. In America, southern accents and such can be harder to understand too.

[@rehanmasud6989]

But accent does help you to communicate better in some ways. In some accents it’s easier to speak the language than doing it in other ones due to the different mechanism in mouth. But its not the same for everyone, people might be or might not be comfortable with it

[@zhichuanma1923]

@restin' mattress Not all Indians

[@manishmayank4199]

@restin' mattress it's because people in India are really brainwashed and are taught to be proud of everything about India without being able to sense what is right. They must accept positive criticism and accept that this country is not perfect. Instead of learning to be better, they just continue being proud of fake perfection. They really need to get out of the shell and see the bigger world now. I hope this massive access to Internet might open their minds.

[@manishmayank4199]

@restin' mattress you're right. The truth is that Indians are the most ignorant towards maths and science and this country's most important debates revolve around resolving religious conflicts. If only they knew that seeing from the outside how funny it appears when the whole world is advancing towards development and we are still fighting over a temple or mosque in UP. The problem is that this kind of mentality is passed on to the next generation and the cycle continues. But fortunately enough, I've seen some hope recently. Students of my college(IIT) are mostly smart enough to judge things in an unbiased way as they know how things in India and rest of the world really are. I think hope is not lost after all. All people need is a better education and the bigger picture. Let's do our best to spread knowledge. :)
