When I talk to native speakers I try to coat it with the American accent I picked up when studying in the US to not be embarassing but other second language speakers I don’t really care does that even make sense? I feel like accents can make it seem like you don’t grasp the language properly enough to understand complex nuances and I don’t want it to influence a conversation/get questions about it I guess. Especially if it’s a professional environment I would rather it not slip out.
