Michael is right. As a native English speaker myself: work on your mastery of the spoken language, but never be ashamed of your natural accents. They are beautiful.
I actually was able to pick up an American accent naturally after a few years of listening to American news and TV shows. The harder part was communication and usage. For example, I made the mistake of asking someone "When are you going to leave?" from what I had been taught about going to vs will. How was I to know in this case to use present simple? Needless to say the American I was talking to was shocked and he must have thought I was so rude because my accent was good. 🥲
@@goyam2981 That's the risk of having a "good" accent, they expect too much in other areas such as vocabulary, grammar, idioms, collocations, register, etc. Having a stronger accent makes others expect less in those areas, making them more forgiving in many cases.
@@Sprachliebhaber-Languagelover Exactly. I'm a natural language learner and I pick up what I hear and in this case it turned out to be a curse. It's s rare to find TV series or dramas or TH-cam videos that would have one person ask another "When do you leave?" And textbooks and teachers always try to generalize grammar rules and this is a big exception for the present simple. I actually heard it in a Jackie Chan movie believe it or not. The one his relative in the movie runs a grocery store in Brooklyn or something.
@@Sprachliebhaber-Languagelover Another one that a lot of foreign students don't know the nuance is "Do you understand?" I also made this mistake before and could see the annoyance on the face of the Canadian I was talking to.
I had no intention or obligation to learn the English language, but you explain it so well that I will learn it immediately, thank you very much for helping me. ♡♡
Sir I want to talk once in my life I don't know you will reply or not of my comment but when I see you I really see brightness on your face and I always get motivation the way you speak the way you motivate us boon for us for that kind efforts and it's really I am so happy to have you sir please keep it up and keep inspiring us ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm learing english and when it comes to speaking, i try to imitate the way that you speak english. because your english sounds so clear and really easy to get it. That is most importante thing. It is really good exmple of speaking english.
Hi, I'm Huyen and I am also your student. I just signed up on your speaking course. Your voice is very clearly which keep me understand the lessons easier. I am happy learning. Thank you!
Hi, Mike ! You speak English so clearly that I can understand the whole video ! You're right, the most important thing is focusing on pronunciation and communication 👍👏
Hi Michael! I'm from Brazil and I'm learning English at a good time about one year with app Duo and I can understand well that you speaking about accents in Brazil we say ( sotaque). Thank you so much for your help!
Great Michael, your comments and explantions really are helpful and encouraging. So I decided to leave my comfort zone and to write this comment. I immediately tried the techniques you recommended: shadowing and observing your face attentively. It is complicating but also fut. And I will keep practicing These two tecniques. Thank you very much Michael, you are an excellent teacher😊
yeah i’m in agreement with you on this point because everyone has different accent im originally from srilanka. so my accent is different from yours. but i really keen to learn more about that and about my speaking experience still wasn’t perfect. it’s the worse part of my experience in this journey about writing i believe it builds so i want to be more confident about my speaking experiences. so how can i get better level and one more thing that i want to tell you i don’t have enough experience if communication with others. so always i do practice by myself so far.
Very enlightening your video. In a few months I moved from Brazil to Australia and was here thinking... will I understand? the important thing is to communicate and make myself understood. You were very right in your words. congratulations.🎉
I enjoyed your explanations and also your accent as always. In fact, It's difficult to use the shadowing technique with movies because the actors' accents unlike your accent are often not clear and understandable!
my name is arifulislam , but I am from Bangladesh , so currently I live at ajman in Dubai ,I always wacth in this video, I am very excited to see your videos from before and I can learn to understand your words,
