In most of English-speaking countries including the United States, people who speak with a “standard accent” usually belong to the dominant group of the society (Callan, Gallois, & Forbes, 1983). Thus, individuals that speak with an accent may be more likely to be viewed as out-group members.
“More generally, in United States, accents of other native English-speaking countries (such as United Kingdom and Australia), and Western European countries (such as France and Germany), tend to be associated with more positive stereotypes (Lippi-Green, 1994), while accents of rest of the world (such as Asian and South American countries) tend to be associated with more negative stereotypes (Lindemann, 2005).”
“Researches consistently show that out-group members are often subject to bias and negative evaluations (Lee & Ottati, 2002).”
“In a study of English language provision for adult NESB immigrants and refugees, it was noted that even a “slight foreign accent and the foreign flavor of their qualifications” could outweigh proficiency in English for skilled job seekers (Watts et al., 2001: 34).”
Best of all, it does this in 2 ½ hours or less with a step-by-step training book and 2-part DVD tutorial.

If you’ve been receiving my emails for quite a while, then I am sure that you are familiar with my story. And if you are not, please bear with me while I share my story with you. So that you know how I came to the realization that it was all a lie.

Today, I’m a retired attorney (“gracias” to the success that I have had with our Learning Spanish Like Crazy and Verbarrator products.) But I can remember my second job out of law school. I had been at that job for about 3 or 4 years. And I had been trying to learn Spanish on my own for about two years at that time. Struggling to learn Spanish is a better way to put it.
It was a very small store-front law firm located in the Bronx, New York. There was a rapidly growing Latino population in that neighborhood. And my boss wanted to attract more Spanish speaking clients so that he could grow his personal injury law practice.
So we hired a bilingual para-legal. The para-legal’s… Read more…
