It might be difficult to do so without getting caught. Instead of focusing on the accent, try to compliment what your colleague is saying by mentioning how interesting their stories are or how much you enjoy listening to them.

It’s probably best to avoid making fun of your colleague’s accent. Though it can be tempting to do so, making fun of someone else is generally inappropriate and can lead to offense and potentially damaged relationships. Try instead to become better informed about the particular dialect or accent your colleague has, which could help deepen your understanding and show genuine respect for their language. Additionally, if you are unsure whether or not you will get “caught”, it might be wise to simply steer clear from any potentially offensive jokes altogether. In the end, it may just not be worth the risk.
