Welcome to our sixth segment of 'Polyglot Perspective Rants' where Lily and Taylor rant all about the most pressing topics in language learning and share their opinions!

Have you ever felt embarrassed or ashamed about your accent when speaking to a native speaker of your target language? Have you ever reverted back to your native language because you were afraid of sounding “foreign” to a native speaker? In this week’s episode, Lily and Taylor talk all about accent discrimination, their experiences with trying to get “rid” of their accents to sound “native,” and some linguistic insights into the differences between accents and pronunciation.

As always, this episode highlights our stories through our perspectives, the polyglot perspective.
