- After watching the interview, I noticed that one of their positive attitudes toward using the English language is that when the interviewer challenged them to speak English, they still did it, despite the fact that some of them claimed it was difficult, they lacked confidence in their ability to do so, and some made grammatical mistakes. We can see in the interview that they are willing to learn and recognize the value of learning the English language for them to speak comfortably with other nations, which is another positive attitude that we as Filipinos have toward using the English language.

- Another positive attitude that the interviewees have toward the use of English is that they are willing to use and expand their knowledge of the language. It also makes positive as they embrace the English language and adapt it in the Philippines that they stated that we must not still forget our native tongue because it will always be a part of us because they are aware that as time passes, we tend to forget or to use our own language. The good news is that they approach the English language with the same openness as they do the Filipino language. I realize that even though they made some grammatic mistake they don't criticize or mock each other for not speaking well in English.

- Filipino's might forget their own language. Because Filipinos adapt and educate the young ones to speak English at an early age, they do not know how to speak the Filipino language as they develop and converse with their fellow Filipinos, which has a detrimental effect on utilizing the English language. They must not forget the importance of our native tongue, which is an integral element of who they are as a Filipino people.

- Misconceptions about speaking the English language in the Philippines.  One of the negative views of Filipinos about English is that if they hear someone speaking English fluently, they will assume that he or she is good or wealthy and also if they hear someone fluent in English, they will be scared or fearful of speaking in English for fear of being embarrassed and mocked.

- Upon watching the video, I observed that the participants can't avoid using filler words or filler sounds like "um", "uh", "oh", "er" and "ah" before or while speaking and saying what they want to convey.

- When the participants in the video don't know the next word to say they would start to stutter and do some actions with their hand as if their scrolling for the word to say. Some of the participants of the video is moving their head while talking and also moving their hand . When they speak fast their hands will also move fast.

Do Indians Know How Their English Accent Sounds? | ASIAN BOSS

- Indians were confident when speaking English. As I noticed throughout the interview, they can speak English fluently and converse effectively with others. Speaking English is one way for them to gain respect from other people and prove that they are well educated. They can think and share their thoughts in such a short period of time with good grammar and sentence structure. That displays their vast knowledge of the English language, which is the source of their pride and confidence.

- When it comes to English, Indians are competitive. They are aware that their way of speaking has been criticized by people all over the world, yet they keep striving for it. They accept it as a joke, while others are offended, but they let their abilities prove that stereotypes are wrong. Their primary motivation for learning English is to improve their career opportunities, and many aim to go to other countries to pursue higher education or higher-paying positions. That is why Indians are fluent in English because they want to be recognized by everyone. Even if they are mocked because of their accent, they still accept and are proud of their way of speaking as their own identity.

- First seen in the video, some mock the other countries' English accents. The way the foreigners’ English sounds to them is very different, and they find it funny. Some pointed to specific countries that have a weird way of speaking English, and they find it very hard to understand. As shown in the video, one person said that "They look like they’re spitting." when speaking the English language, and the other one specified a country where when speaking they make a weird facial expression. These attitudes can lead to racism that can cause conflicts between the people and the country.

- Second is, they judge and treat other people based on how good they are at speaking English. Based on the interviewee, they can get more respect if they are fluent in English, and some say that they will be perceived as "Cool guy" if they are good at it. If not, you will be judged as someone who is illiterate and looked down upon. This has become one of the reasons why they are learning English so that they will be treated better in their society.

- Some Filipinos speak English fluently, especially when you ask them English questions. Some can't speak English fluently, so they mix it with Tagalog, which is known as "TAGLISH" (a mixture of English and Tagalog), because some don't know the exact word to say in Tagalog, so instead of speaking Tagalog, they use the English language to say the word.

- As I watched the video, I noticed that they consistently add "but" and the words "umm" to their sentences. It also seemed like they were constantly stuttering when they spoke, as if they were unable to pronounce the words they were trying to say, which indicates that they are obviously uncomfortable.

- Based on my observation they use hand gestures more often to explain things, much as the Filipinos do. For example, they will give the "OK" sign to indicate or clarify what they want to say and move their hands while talking and explaining what makes them think is more appropriate or the correct words to say.

- Most Indians are fluent in speaking English. When someone is speaking or communicating in English, their accents are understandable compared to others. On the other hand, some Indians who speak English well are not fluent since the structure is different and some letters are spoken incorrectly. They have trouble pronouncing words or letters.
