Looking for info: a friend is working on a piece about accents. Does your accent have any baggage associated with it? Were you encouraged to speak in a different way growing up? Were you taught that certain accents meant certain things?

While living abroad, my accent has always sounded off for the region so people can immediately tell that I'm not from there and let me tell you, some people really hate foreigners.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

That is true, but in my experience, the are stereotypes for other regions of the country as well. My parents are from the North, and you can tell by the accent. I'll never forget the first time I said "roupa" in class. With a u. Because it is not silent. 1/2
