I haven’t been so aware of accent snobbery in Italy either. Although now that I think about it, maybe I have heard people in the north mimic southern accents in a disparaging way…
I am sorry to hear that you were picked on for your ‘pisano’ accent – what a nasty thing. Do you find that your accent slips back when you go home? I know that I do it! It’s not a conscious decision, it just kind of happens!
You won’t agree with me, but you know I love hearing accents when people speak English and you have a lovely English ‘voice’. We will work on pronunciation with the aim of sounding natural and confident 💪
