Accent reduction When I was searching for a teacher here, I've been noticing something: some of them offer accent reduction. It's tempting, I'll not lie, but I stopped do think: why? Since people can understand you well, I don't see any problem in having an accent. One example: I love Indian accent when speaking english, I don't know why but I love it! It's so cute! Also, having an accent can indicate you have strong roots. When I was younger, I would love to speak English fluently in a level where I could be mistaken with a native speaker. But now I ask myself: why focusing on reducing accent if I can focus on improving it? I can pronounce the words well, they doesn't sound exatcly like a native speaker but it's accurate. I love a Brazillian YouTube channel called "Olá Brasil", where the man who make the videos is from France. He speaks Portuguese very well, but he still has a strong accent. It's so cute! Even living in Brazil, he's still from France after all, he has his roots and he's not ashamed of it. And you? Would you like to reduce your accent?
