Why does my English still have an accent after 13 years in Australia and New Zealand?
In this honest and personal video, I share my experience as a Czech-Kiwi navigating life, work, and self-expression in a second language. We explore why accents can persist even after years of immersion, how trauma can create a “mind-to-mouth” disconnect, and why having an accent is not a flaw — it’s a story of courage.
Whether you're a fellow language learner, someone curious about accent bias, or just someone who’s ever felt insecure about how they speak — this video is for you.
