[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I taught public speaking at the college level. Everyone benefits from taking public speaking. As for accents and dialects, I find there are many across the US and they all have issues for audiences if one isn't familiar with it. Case in point, [b]I could easily understand a black DC teenager[/b] long before I could someone from Scotland. It also helps dramatically if parents speak properly to their children at home from birth. [b]I know some of my children's friends who were raised by nannies have some speech issues.[/b] So people on this thread need to lighten up. Few people have perfect speech! And then we have our President.... [/quote] Lots of generalizations here.[/quote]
