回復 sushiwwasabi 的帖子
Don't worry, I stayed in States for some years and my husband stayed there as well. We are both "non-native" speakers. No worry on our job seeking, we both work in settings with international exposure, your accent is not the only factor that decide our fitting into the job or the promotion opportunities. This is no longer British Colonial Rule Era, you would not be discriminated against by so called "elites" only because of your accent in Hong Kong, as far as I know. In the past, I do think this was a serious issue in Colonial time in the government offices or even in some "elite" schools.
As long as your "Chinglish" is not terribly sounded, and you have confidence, you have good language foundation and you love who you are, that will be ok.
We should not be shameful or feel bad about ourselves because of our non-native accent, as we should be proud of who we are and this is a reality that English is our second language....
By the way, my experiences in the States taught me that whatever "native in your English speaking", you still have opportunities to be discriminated because of your skin color or your ethnicity..I have a lots of "ABC" friends could not find a good job, who speak perfect and beautiful "Native English".
