I only speak English and I think accents are really cool. I love listening to different accents and it’s fascinating to me!

I speak English, it’s the only language I CAN speak, but, I have zero issues with anyone that has an accent. There’s no such thing as speaking “better.” Our differences is what unites us, it’s what makes us beautiful.

Languages are beautiful and they always were! Accents are original and you can't just stop people from speaking the way they always have. Love the awareness!

Hi!!

I am a Canadian girl who grew up speaking English literally all the time. I completely agree with you; it's time to speak up now! Because if we don't, then it'll be too late. So many people in my school are immigrants, and I LOVE hearing all their experiences, and I just find them so cool. They know so many languages. However, I mean, people still bully the heck out of these wonderful people, and I hate that. No school policies or anything help, and teachers honestly don't even care. Not sure if this is everywhere, but at my school it is. I love languages, and I can't wait to learn some in the future. Also, accents are so unique and lovely.

Hi :)

I am a Chinese boy who moved to another country and people did not like the way I spoke saying it was funny/weird. I don't think my accent or language was weird, it is just because i was different among a whole group of people. However, they realized that I was a very capable person and I could do a lot XD I am proud of who I am and I don't care about others and their mean opinions on my accent and language.

I have been bullied for the way I speak. I tried to change myself and my accent so that I could fit in. I moved to the states when I was in 7th grade and obviously I didn’t adapt to the accent, I tried to stick with mine. I am fluent in English but I only have an accent. People mocked me so much, laughed at me, and made me feel unwelcome. I wasn’t invited anywhere and I didn’t have many friends. Now that I am older, I have realized that you shouldn’t be judged for your voice. That’s just wrong and stupid. Anyone facing something like this, stand up for yourself!!

SALUT!! I am a French Canadian and I love speaking in my language. I feel free when I speak in French with my friends and family, it's the best. Keep speaking in your language. It's so amazing and do not care about anyone's opinions because they don't matter lol!! Your voice is yours and own it.

Hey!! I speak Vietnamese and I was born in Canada. Even though I grew up in an English community, I was so connected to my roots and I am really so so glad!! I think culture and language stems from family and friends. My mom taught me Vietnamese from a young age and I see so many teens not knowing their mother language. I would just say appreciate everything about YOU. It's your identity and please please dont be ashamed of speaking in your voice. it's so beautiful :)

I speak English. It is the only language I speak lol. But I want to say that I completely stand strong with advocacy toward language discrimination. I really hate seeing bias against accents and cultural diversity. No one deserves this hate. Never!! Thank you for this initiative!

Hi,

People said that my accent sounds very sharp. Ever since I was in middle school I was mocked and laughed on. I think all throughout high school it was the same but more silent like they wouldn't say things at my face. University was different. I saw some many people from my home country and I felt safe. It gets better.

Have you ever been told you talk “funny”? That your accent is too strong, too soft, or just… not right?

This space is for you. Drop the real things people have said about your voice — the ones that made you pause, shrink, or feel like you didn’t belong.

No names. No judgment. Just honest, anonymous stories that show how language bias really sounds. Let’s make it visible.

Let’s talk back.
