Dos the accent is more important than a good pronunciation ? Does the accent is more important than a good pronunciation? English is the first language which is taught in the whole word. Because of that, there are so many different accents that we cannot know all of them. When I speak with an US guy on the phone, he usually notice me that my pronunciation is near from the British accent. He makes me work on the pronunciation to loose the accent and get one he has. The real question about me is to know if the most important is to choose an accent or if it is to have a good pronunciation of the words. Yes, I know that some words don't sound the same in British English than US English. I met a plenty of US people who said that the British accent sounded old and then I have to learn the US Accent. Sometimes, some US guys refuse to talk to me because I want to speak in British English. Sometimes, some British partners say that I should not learn the US pronunciation which sounds "incorrect". That's pretty incredible. What do you think about that? (It's a real topic, not a joke. Sorry for doing mistakes)
