having a difficulty with different english accent My mother tongue is not English. I just learned and studied in school. Education system for learning English here used to be basically focused on American English. These days it has been changed but the time when i was a student, i could hear only American accent during English class. So I am kind of lost when I meet or call someone who does not have American accent. My workplace is full of engineer and there aren’t people who can speak English except for 2 guys and me. So I sometimes have to deal with clients from Russian or Italian etc and after having a meeting I am so frustrated with myself. I know it sounds weird, but how can I get over this problem? English is an international language and it means anybody can speak English with different accent. How should I improve it? If there is an expert, please let me know. I really need your help.
