The other day my neighbor, an Asian lady, came out to walk her two dogs as I was leaving. When her dogs saw me they started barking like crazy. I could hear her over the dogs saying, “Yuussh! Yuussh!” in a heavy Asian accent. As I walked by her we greeted each other. Surprisingly she said hello and asked me how I was in perfect English.
The question that then came to mind is why would she scold her dogs in heavily accented English if she obviously has no problem speaking without the accent?
