The hardest time I’ve had communicating at work has been with native English speakers from India. They have such a strong accent and such different idioms. Same to some extent with Singlish.

The problem is they really are speaking perfectly legal English, with grammar better than mine, but it’s a different dialect. Not true of ESL Indians.

> native English speakers from India

Native English speakers make up 0.02% of India's population. I've worked in tech for a decade and have met exactly zero native English speakers in India. I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.

I have to revert for you to kindly adjust to the same.

[Terretta]

Do one thing. Timely discuss about doing the needful years back.

[jojobas]

By the by, I take tension, please intimate me what re preponing of the meeting.

[beezlebroxxxxxx]

Honestly, they only issue I run into is that they tend to speak English extremely fast.

I’ve spent long enough in the industry that I am relatively comfortable with many of the accents, I would love a class to exist that teaches non-Indians the dialect.

Welcome to my ted talk:

Prepone

Do the needful

Kindly

You are now well-versed.

I'm joking though. That would be a fun class to take!

I think after about a year in tech consulting I developed a pretty robust ability to understand accents that most Americans have trouble with. Chinese, Russian, Indian, Nigerian, you name it. I guess if someone wants to practice they could listen to Kitboga or something.

[jojobas]

Right, everyone else needs to adjust to the Indian dialect of English.

[ebiester]

Need or else, your career may improve if you can work with a wider group of talented people.

[xiaodai]

american have accents too to the rest of the world, but very less

[throwayyy479087]

Absolutely, that's what I'm trying to say - that they have accents, and we have accents, and they're different. I sure as shit don't speak the Queen's English, which is etymologically closer to what they speak
