Dear Please read the follwoing paragraph from one beautiful english learning website. My first piece of advice is not to get too hung up on trying to sound like a native speaker. Would you start learning the piano in an attempt to sound like Mozart? The first rule of speaking English is to learn to speak clearly and concisely and remember you won't just be speaking to native speakers: There are roughly 380 million native speakers out there, but as many as a billion people speak English as a second language, you do the math. - See more at: http://www.learnenglish.de/improveenglish/improvespeakingpage.html#sthash.GFUKNPKv.dpuf
