Do you know this expression?
“Don’t sweat the small stuff.”
You can use it to say that someone is focusing on the wrong things, on the unimportant things.
I see that a lot of students make this mistake when they focus too much on their accent.
In my opinion, that’s the small stuff.
So don’t sweat it (don’t worry about it).
What’s more important?
Yesterday I asked you.
One of my readers wrote “a good mood.”
Absolutely!
Who likes to talk to a grump? (a person who is grumpy)
No one!
So being a pleasant person someone enjoys talking to is MUCH more important than your accent.
What else?

To be concentrated on the discussion
Try to link to the theme, ask question about the issue, be interested
inner smile
Forget bloody accent, concentrate on understanding the others and being able to be understood. Language is one of the few things that are worth knowing even incorrectly. Being an electrician is quite another matter… (R.I.P)
Good evening. I think it’s important to be able to talk any one .It would be good to find something common and to present in the conversation /
Yes, it is more pleasant to be with people with good character. However, it is difficult to change one´s own character traits.
To be understood
Speak to someone nicely and clearly.
Listen to other person, smile, show interest, ask questions
Listening and understanding the other person. Smile.
The words you choose, to be polite and agreeable, to be truthful and real not a fake person, what you say and how you say to be the same thing…,body language…
But you know somehow I understand grumpy.person( the life is not so easy) plus they are like a sort of bears muttering all the time. Rather I prefer a grumpy than a smiling fake person.
I have the same ..
Yes, thank you Joanna!
Good mood and smile, smile, smile😂
Hi !
It is very important when you talk to someone,that the ideas you present are well understood by the person you are talking to.
To Talk about tópics that we enjoy
The most important is the willingness to communicate.
It’s more important to have big enough vocabulary to be able to say what you want. Be able to express yourself.
I think the tone is more important then the accent.
I really like to talk with thinking people, open- minded; grumpy, not grumpy, it doesn’t matter, opening and thinking is the most important for me .. and being realistic too
To understand each other
Curiosity
To be good understanding
Communicating with honest and positive people is always preferable than perfect pronunciation. In my opinion, it’s more important to be aware of the intentions with which we communicate than the accent.
To be nice
To be pleasand
To be pleasant
Ma se sbaglio accento le persone potrebbero non capire quello che dico …..
Its important to know more words to speak
I think is important speaking with correct accent, so I can understand better who speak with me.
Speak to someone nicely and clearly.
In my opinion, accent is important.I wish i could speak like a native speaker
Topic of discussion!
Good expression, thanks Ryan!
Luckily I don’t perceive my accent and unfortunately I can’t change other people’s…so I’ll take it easy trying to speak clearly and I’m convinced that sense of humor plus friendly attitude always help😊
Be interesting
More important than accent when I met someone is the words some time I forget words
