  • Affrication: why TR and DR are not pronounced how you think they are

    Is improving your accent betraying your culture?
    Apr 13 2025

    Is improving your accent a betrayal of your culture—or just a form of adaptation? In this episode, I dive into the complex relationship between language, identity, and mindset. From stories about my Russian language partner, my British ex, and a college confrontation over pronunciation, to my own struggles with Cantonese and shifting accents, we explore what it really means to change the way we speak. Whether you’re trying to sound more native or holding onto the voice that shaped you, this one's for you.
