Too many people make no effort to understanding anybody with an 'accent'. They just automatically tune out and then say it's too hard.

[sarillia]

There are also some interesting studies about how people seem to perceive an accent as stronger or less noticeable depending on what the speaker looks like, where the same recording was used with different pictures and got different results.

I don't suppose you'd remember any in particular? That sounds really interesting.

I don't know if you'll come back to check this at some point but I couldn't respond earlier because of sleep issues.

I came across these studies in a psychology textbook that I don't have anymore and now I can't find any information about this. I spent hours searching and it's really frustrating me and now I'm doubting my memory even though I have a really clear memory of talking to my mom about this after reading about it.

not sure if you'll be getting notifications on this, but this study (or one like it) exists, although i can't find it myself either. the one i read about didn't use voice recordings, though, just two people of different races raised in the same english-speaking locale lecturing the same class, and the students being asked to rate the lecturers on their english accents, where the students invariably marked the non-white lecturer as having a heavy accent :\

I have a hearing disorder, and while I can usually put together what people are saying well enough, if they have an accent - especially if it's an accent I don't hear often - it all ends up sounding like nonsense to me, no matter how hard I try to understand it.

As long as you at least try. The problem is the people who don't.
