Let's start of by saying just don't do it.

Living with a unique accent in a foreign country can have its challenges, and here are 5 things that I hear all the time with having an accent.

1) So have you met the queen?!

Nope..... and not everyone speaks like the queen either, there are many, many accents in England including the Northern accent which I grew up with! Thankfully, Game Of Thrones made the Yorkshire accent more well known!

2) The British are coming

Yep, we lost the war. Yep you poured our tea in the sea. Pat on the back for you, I guess. Saying "the British are coming" honestly never amuses me and never will!

3) You must get hit on all the time!

Surprisingly not every guy drops to their knees every time I talk. It's normally a confused stare or a "can you repeat that?" like five more times so I can stare at you even more like you are from a different planet.

4) Wait say "Bloody Hell"

Being made to perform like a monkey or mimicked every five seconds is not always the funniest thing to have to endure every day. In other words, let's refrain from asking people to do such things.

5) Do you mind when we make fun of you and ask you fifty thousand questions about where you're from?

A few questions or comments here or there can be fine, after all, sometimes it's nice to talk about home. Yet we don't enjoy being the object of constant ridicule or interrogation no matter how light hearted.

See ya later mate!
