I too have problem with speaking 's' for 'sh'

I am from UP living in Maharashtra. So like Gauri, I too have problem with speaking 's' for 'sh'. I was teased in school, junior college and graduation college due to this with some even trying to correct me. Some North Indian people do have pronunciation problems. Sometimes, I would feel sad due to this and get nervous to talk before presentation. Now I have improved a little and hope to fully improve soon.

Hmm achcha.. I can completely understand.. One's accent cant change overnight..

My dentist is from Agra.Though she is M.D.S. She can't speak proper English and same pronunciation 's' and 'sh' problem.But as a doc she is v good.

Though my second language was Hindi...and I was very good with grammar..

But as I am a Bengali...my Hindi pronunciation still has an accent...and people at times do make fun of it... but now I am okay about it

hey priya.. I am a Bong too.. good to meet you.. 😳

Thats not a big deal in fact almost 80% of the people who live in states like MP UP BIHAR suffer from this issue which is also known as MTI ie mother tongue influence I belong to mp studied in convent still I faced the similar issue anyways these things are just futile.
N majority living in north faces the issue leaving few states like delhi n all.
So just chil pil
😊

I am from Bihar and have been in Bihar Jharkhand till my engineering and I do use words like Hum for me, alaawe (people commonly say Alaawa ) etc. for informal communication. Although being from ICSE board my English n Phonetics is pretty decent (if 94 percentile in CAT is any proof😆) n luckily I never had any stage fear, the people here did make fun of my Hindi for the words I mentioned, n I mean my friends but I never took this seriously, my simple answer was if your Hindi has Marathi influence (like saying native n gaon, peas as Vatana etc.) Why wouldn't my Hindi have the influence of Bhojpuri?

When a British tries to speak in broken Hindi you get awed but when a Bhojpuri speaking person tries to speak in broken Hindi you start mocking

I have been here for 2 years now n I am not willing to change as that's my identity n the people who earlier mocked me are now accustomed to it

Agreed!
I am also from Bihar! *Hi five*
Some of my cousins have have problem. Actually 80 85% people in Bihar have problem in speaking S and Sh. (Though I don't have )
But it's fine! No big deal!
Even I use 'hum' for me when I talk to them.
I like the maithili touch in their hindi.
And I was going to give the same example u gave. When any foreigner tries to speak in Hindi then they are cute and If any bihari or maithil person tries to speak in english or even in hindi then they are gawar!
What a logic!
But then,
*Kuch to log kahenge, logon ka kam hai kehna*

if u sound like Gauri i think u would sound very cute. i love how Gauri talks. sorry u were bullied though. those bullies where just jealous of u. i really think that the reason why ppl bully others is coz the other person has a quality that they dnt possess. so they want to bully them to take that quality out of them. bullies are just insecure ppl. and i dnt think that Gauri needs to change in anyway. i think that Om is gona love the s and sh soon.
