americans are truly an embarrassment
every other language represented gets it right except for us
people that always have to say the words in an accent to try and sound as authentic as possible are pretty weird too
well i agree and i would and do suppress that urge irl (much as it may playgue me) for the purpose of healthy social assimilation (lol)
but the american bastardizations still trigger me something fierce

i didnt mean trying to pronounce it correctly, that's fine. I mean the people that have put on a heavy fake accent to pronounce the words.

this is how i feel and then people say im being insensitive. i can still speak some good amount of spanish, but i dont put on some cheesy mexican accent. do mexicans think "oh, this american guy doesnt intonate the way i do, hes rude"? no of course not.

if i had to guess, foreigners probably find americans speaking their native language in a patternistic american accent to be kind of cute and respectful of their local culture
i mean, there is a reason we all find accented english speech to be endearing
but the dumb tryhard who speaks bad [foreign language x] with an aggressively caricatured accent just sounds insulting

...boyah, how is "appalachian" pronounced
apple-ate-chin
and i grew up in appalachia so
aaa-puh-láy-chee-in is what i had been saying, but thank goodness i have since corrected myself lol
apple-at-chin is also acceptable but that's a southern pronunciation i think

to be fair, i'm pretty sure english is the only germanic language in which ch is pronounced tʃ rather than 'k' or 'kh'
i think we inherited that trait from french
