An observation a Chinese student made that always stuck w/ me: "When I speak, I'm ashamed of my Chinese accent & ppl around me r embarrassed 4 me. But a French student, for example, when she speaks, her accent is considered 'cute'& 'sophisticated'.This always made me feel worse."https://twitter.com/JiayangFan/status/976589834096607232 …
Objectively, I think French just sounds better, especially 儿话音 I speak both languages, but Chinese is borderline atonal which results in lots of laughter from Chinese listeners. This doesn't affect me and while they should try to fix their accent, its no reason to feel shame.
