This study seeks to determine the average American's attitude toward faultless English spoken with a foreign accent. The results seem to indicate that the attitude is negative and that it influences not only the listener's reaction to the accent but to the speaker's general abilities as well. A major point of interest is the possible link between this attitude and the unpopularity of foreign language study in the United States
