How did you feel when listening to Gloria’s accent?

 

I didn't feel comfortable, because I didn't understand everything she said, due to her bad pronunciation of the words and his accent. Also I think that it must be very difficult to her to communicate with th other people spaking this English.

 

Is this variation of language identifying a particular community for good or bad ?

 

This variation is identifying her community for bad, because if we hear this woman, we could think that everybody from his country speaks English like her (with a bad pronunciation of the words).

 

Is this an inferior variation of the English language?

 

I think that this is an inferior variarion of English language, just like Spanglish, Chinglish, etc. because the way that she speaks is mixed with his language, Spanish.

 

Do you usually judge people’s accents?

 

Not usually, but sometimes, when someone speakes English or Spanish badly, I try to help them if I can, so they can undesrtand more the other people or be understood. Or for example,when someone doesn't modulates, I try to help them because it is not easy to undesrtand them.
