I’ve been learning Spanish for a few years now, I spent a few months living in South America a few years ago and I’m still really invested in learning Spanish. I have several friends who are fluent Spanish speakers so no shortage of people to speak with. However, I know I have an accent, and I am afraid to speak due to that because I feel like I sound like I’m making fun of Spanish when I try to speak. I’m a white guy. How can I get over this fear of speaking with an accent? Even when I try really hard, I know I still have a strong English accent in my Spanish.
