The accents
Hi everyone!
Last days I've listened to some complaints about the different accents in the foreign language. I wondering this theme sounds a little bit ridiculous. Actually, we live in a multicultural and multilingual world but in addition, we have accents in the same countries and maternal tongues. For example, in Spain people from Madrid complain about the Andalusians; the French, Belgians and Swiss speak French with different accents; and I have a friend from Manchester tell me doesn't understand people from north of England. So, I think to achieve communication is really important and people native speakers have to be open to other accents.

The accents
Hi everyone!Last days I've listened to some complaints about the different accents in the foreign languages. I was wondering if this theme sounds a little bit ridiculous. Actually, we live in a multicultural and multilingual world but in addition, we have accents in the same countries and maternal tongues. For example, in Spain people from Madrid complain about the Andalusians; the French, Belgians and Swiss speak French with different accents; and I have a friend from Manchester who tells me he/she doesn't understand people from the north of England. So, I think to achieve communication it is really important and/that people native speakers have to be open to other accents.
Totally agree with you on that one :)

Hi everyone!Last days Lately I've listened to some complaints about the different accents in the foreign languages. I was wondering if this theme sounds a little bit ridiculous. Actually, Not only do we live in a multicultural and multilingual world but in addition, we have accents within the same countries and in the same maternal tongues. For example, in Spain people from Madrid complain about the Andalusians; the French, Belgians and Swiss speak French with different accents; and I have a friend from Manchester who tells me they (Use 'they' if you don't want to specify this person's gender. Otherwise use 'he' or 'she') don't understand people from the north of England. So, I think to achieve communication it is really important that native speakers have to be open to other accents.
