Congratulations! You’ve just made a step in the right direction,
toward your goal of eliminating your accent.
Let’s face it, it doesn’t matter if you have a master’s or bachelor’s degree, whether you are a doctor, a nurse, or a house mom; an accent will create prejudices when you are meeting people. People around you might not judge you consciously, but it’s commonly known that the first impression is the most important one. Consider how you think about people that have an accent speaking your mother tongue. Don’t you tend to think less of people who have accents, kind of labeling them as less smart and sophisticated? When it comes to languages, it really doesn’t matter who you are or what kind of career you pursue, an accent will make things harder.
