Let me talk about my experience! I speak Chaoshan dialect with a strong accent. In high school, my classmates knew where I came from as soon as they listened to me. They say that my Chaoshan dialect has a strong accent, and then they often ask some tongue twisters, such as asking you to pronounce a word because you are really not sure. One of my fellow villagers also laughed at us, especially in the dormitory. I usually don't answer, it's all routine, and my fellow villager follows, and then everyone in a dormitory is discussing what he is talking about, because sometimes he can't understand it, so I won't say what to read specifically, and all kinds of stalks will be handed out in class tomorrow.
Tell me my opinion,
I usually speak Mandarin with my classmates and occasionally speak Hakka, so I need to practice more. You can also watch movies with subtitles. Don't feel inferior. Although I am going to college soon, but Mandarin is not standard?
