Why do I always feel compelled to speak louder when I talk to someone who has a foreign accent?

It’s because you think that because you can’t understand them clearly, that they can’t understand you clearly, so you naturally speak louder.

I think yelling at them is your way of preventing yourself from punching them. I understand your dilemma. I’ve worked with Albanians, Iraqians and blacks with that heavy ebonic accent, and it made me want to scream sometimes. Just try to stay cool; it’s only going to get worse. I think if you live here, you must speak the language – our language.
