Hi everyone. I have a question regarding accents.

I currently speak at a B2 level and I am really comfortable conversing with people, but I have not officially taken my B2 exam yet. However, I have only ever learnt German from Swiss people and as a result of this, I have a very Swiss accent when speaking German. I have only visited Germany twice in my life for day trips, whereas I have been frequently visiting Zürich over the past 3 years.

Does anyone know if having a Swiss accent could result in me getting a lower score in an official exam environment (B2) ?

Sometimes I even say Swiss-German words instead of Hochdeutsch which is something I am working on. The Swiss people love it! But it is slightly embarrassing for me …

Any advice is appreciated - thanks!

I bought a bag on Vinted and stupidly didn’t check that it was 100% authentic before clicking accept. It was £40 and I feel like such an idiot. I have never had a bad experience on Vinted until now. I’m just here to rant because I’m so mad at myself. Please learn from my mistake :(((((
