Lets talk about our accents. What causes it and is there a way to improve it? Is there a need to improve one's accent to the accent of the country he is in? Why do Nepalese act like they have a better accent than other foreigner's, lets take an example of Indian accent although both may sound the same for a Native? Why do Nepalese take their own language lightly. We were never taught to pronounce our own words correctly by our teachers or parents. For eg we do not know Rashwa and Dirgha or the difference between SH and S, YA and A, O and WO and such. By no means i am trying to be a smartass or demeaning to anyone with this thread. Lets see if we can make this thread informative or entertaining. Sid

Look at the Prime Minister of Nepal saying uttering "SH" (moto SHA) sound for every single "S" sound that is out there. Remember how much fun media use to make for Bush not saying the words properly. This PM has no shame on uttering his mother tounge so wrong and rampantly. He probably does not even know he has this problem. It is just insane..to hear him talk like that and even more insane that there is not one entity that points the issue. I bet if some comedian picks this up and makes fun of him he would be aware of his problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... < title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/L... frameborder="0" allowfullscreen> Last edited: 21-Feb-11 10:54 AM
