A charming accent I remember when I started to learn English and my teachers worked hard to reduce our accents as much as possible. I know it's good to formal situations and improving our understanding. Sometimes that can be very difficult for some students like for those who are from native speakers of romantic languages that are trying to learn something more Slavic or vice-versa. Believe me, I studied a lot. Personally, today I appreciate someone speaking my native language or another with different accents because that shows their origins. That's so charming! And you, what do you think about accents?

I know it's important  to for us to be able to speak clearly in formal situations, if not at least for our own improvement in the language.  improving our understanding. However, sometimes it can be very difficult for some students such as  for those who are from native speakers of romantic the Slavic  languages that are trying to learn something more Slavic or vice-versa. Believe me, I have studied a lot. Personally, today I  do appreciate someone who speaks my native language or another regardless of their accent, because it just shows  that shows their country of origin. That's so charming .

Some people are really hard to understand. I hate it when "customer service" is a phone call to some Indian that knows enough English to be a smart ass but not enough to understand the finer points of what i'm trying to get help with. Moving on from that, as long as I think you truly understand what you're saying then it's fine.
