I'm learning English on my own & listening to English many people around the world speak every day. I've noticed there're many accent in English. I mean people speak English in their own accents. For example, you might know, there're British accent, North American accent, Indian accent, Singaporean accent, etc. I'm Japanese, & maybe I speak English in Japanese accent.
Some might criticize my English because of bad pronunciation & accent. Of course I'm always try hard to improve my English, but I don't mind criticisms so seriously. I think the most important thing in conversation or other communication methods is to convey what I exactly want to tell to other people, but not perfect or good pronunciation & accent. But don't get me wrong, it seems to me imitating perfect or good pronunciation & accent is good if I can completely. To be honest, when I listen to native English speakers I think they're speaking English so fluently & naturally & I hope I speak English like them.
After starting learning & practicing English on my own, I noticed it was so hard to imitate native English speakers completely. But I'm not embarrassed about my Japanese accent. This is because I know many people around the world seem to speak English or other 2nd languages such as Japanese in their accent with confidently & without a sense of embarrassment. I don't want to stop using English because of Japanese accent.
Anyway, that's it for this article. How were it & my English? Were they interesting or annoying? Thank you so much for reading. I really hope to see you again real soon even though it's time to finish. See ya.
