HELP—Improve Accent
Login in to Rate this Post:     0       ?        
Fellow Nepalese, I honestly need some help here. Here's the deal: I have been in the United States for more than three years now. As you guys might guess, I can speak English pretty fluently but I still have a pure Nepali accent. I wouldn't mind having an accent as long as people understand me but the problem is some people have a hard time understanding me. There are around 7 Nepalese students in my college and it seems I am the only one who has this problem. All the other Nepali students seem to have picked up an American Accent.I have been getting scholarship all these three years, have a good gpa and a good job( right now I am doing an internship as a computer programmer) but this accent thing is bugging me real bad. Whenever I have to speak English in front of a Nepali, I become over conscious of my accent and sound real nervous. I know I am a totally loser( after spending three years in the U.S. I am writing this in sajha so that people can suggest me ways to improve my accent--I know this proves how big a loser I am) but I just wanted to post this message in sajha so that you guys can advise me ways that would help me improve my accent Mr. loser
