They ask me: "Is my accent good?"

Do i have a strong accent?

Do I sound native?

these aren't correct questions to ask

in fact these questions aren't important

what is important

is the ability to communicate

afterall, that is language

communication

Look at Antonio Banderas for example

In a county festival

I was there with a very important movie. He called me right after the production and said, "We have an interview

Antonio Banderas from Malaga, Spain

may have a strong accent but he can communicate effectively

but this interview from jack black

This movie is called

King Kong

How do you say in Spanish "King Kong".

It is nearly impossible to lose your accent

the objective of working on your accent shouldn't be to sound native

but she's not speak with your mother tongues' accent in english

many celebrities have strong accents yes

but this makes them more unique

and amplifies interest in the individual for example

the scientist Eduard Punset. He has a strong accent

although the

uh... by you

I mean

thirty years ago nobody gave a damn for emotion

Francois de La Rochefoucauld said that the accent of a man's native country

remains in his mind and his heart

as it does in his speech

accents are something that should be celebrated and honored

yes there are some people who have no accent

but this is because they have acquired the accent

naturally

this happens

primarily at young

just look at Mila Kunis

will stay in that plus

Fantastic, and now we're being told that the wrapping things up. Thank you, Jason, so much.

really, thank you. You've been just a joy.

She was born in Ukraine and moved to the united states

when she was seven.

Older learners can't acquire an accent

naturally, through acquisition. But, instead

learn the language

which is quite different

Christoph Waltz

Jamie got

really good with the gun, really good.

I mean, he can twirl it any which way and land it in his holster, and you'll have no idea how he did it.

He acted in the movie Django Unchained and still has a German accent.

Yes, it's subtle

but it will always be there

What's your name? Django

Then you're exactly the one I'm looking for.

The point is, do not struggle with trying to sound native

Your goal, with accents, is to take away your own language's accent

never be upset with your accent

even if yours is strong

just remember

if you travel 40 kilometers away from your hometown

you will find a different accent
