I hate my accent - I want to change it!

About this episode

E371: 🎙 Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast—your go-to listening resource for intermediate to advanced English learners! Hosted by me, Anna, today’s episode dives into a topic many of us can relate to: accents.

🗣 🙊 Have you ever felt self-conscious about the way you sound? In this episode, I share the story of a woman who wants to erase her beautiful Welsh accent due to negative perceptions and judgement from others. I explore the deeper issues around accent criticism, self-perception, and how to embrace your unique voice while also learning new ways of speaking. I also share my personal journey of learning RP (Received Pronunciation) and tips for those eager to acquire a new accent without losing their identity.
