Nope, I have never been picked on because of accent. I dont know about canadian people because I am not from Canada. I am born and raised in USA, so I have american accent. Nobody have every made fun of me. Infact, people have told me I talk like a 21 year old, where as, I am only 16 😆

But some of my friends who are born in India and later came to USA, have accent. Whenever they speak English, I can clearly tell they have an accent. We call people who are born in India 'FOBs' I dont know if you have ever heard of that phrase.

No, never. I dont have a strong accent. I speak English and Urdu both normally. But some people have told me I have a bit of a British accent 😕 I dont think so, though.

Our accent is much like the American accent but there are a few words here and there which are pronounced differently...
