“Processing changes when listening to foreign accented speech,” focused on two main issues about processing language from a non-native speaker: first, whether fast adaptation in the brain occur at the acoustic and/or lexical level during speech comprehension and whether semantic processing in the brain is affected after listeners have gotten better at comprehending foreign accented speech.įigure 1 from Romero-Rivas et al. Yet, it is so hard for native speakers of a language to comprehend non-native speakers, even when said non-native speaker has had practice in enunciating the accent.Ī 2015 study done by Romero-Rivas et al. Going from your home country to a completely different place, with an entirely different language, causes some people to forget that when speaking another language, they too have an accent. Although, maybe it’s possible… could it be that I have an accent? Is my accent so thick that they cannot understand that when I say “poulet et fromage” I mean chicken and cheese? Now that I think about it, that’s probably why they proceed to giggle at my attempts at French and then start to speak to me in English. I would think, since I’m pronouncing the words just like the native Parisians, that they would understand me perfectly. As I travel around the city, trying to learn new words and phrases, it becomes increasingly apparent that when I speak the little French I do know, nobody understands me. (Oh mom, why did you not let me learn?), I tend to think back on this time in my life. Now that I’m in Paris, with little to no experience in speaking French. And so, I proceeded to take Spanish, for 5 years. Well, there goes my dream of becoming fluent in the language of my people. “No Kayleigh, Spanish will be more practical in America, especially if you want to become a doctor.” It’s part of my blood! I was going to learn the language of my people, until I told my mom the grand plan. Finally, after all this time, I was going to be able to learn the language I’d always wanted. These were some of the first words I told my mom after we moved from California to Georgia when I was in 8th grade. ✅ Early Bird Registration - If you register until, you get a discount of 15 EUR.“Mom!
