The accent
Isn't by itself a problem, it's the
pronunciation, although Indian English can be
very difficult to understand sometimes. We have
MANY accents in the United States, just as
India itself has many dialects. People from New
York talk differently from people from Atlanta,
Dallas or New Orleans, but USUALLY we can
understand each other. English in the large
cities has become somewhat homogenized, but
when you start travelling to rural America it
gets very interesting. I'm from the suburbs of
New York City and I've been to parts of Cape
Cod, Massachussets where I couldn't understand
a single thing someone was saying due to a
heavy New England accent, I could swear it was
a different language.
