Eventually, though, interacting with native speakers is essential to master English. A whole lot of students find that they concentrate on the mistakes they may make or that they won't understand. However, this is a vital part of learning how to talk about things you don't know, which is going to be a lifelong tool. Also, you should remember that most English speakers will find it incredible that you are learning English. They might lament their lack of language skills.

Beyond certain sounds, the sheer variety of accents can seem impossible to overcome. However, students do not need to feel like they have to decide on a single accent and stick with it forever. They are also able to choose one to start with and practice listening to others online as time permits. Most learners find that they can change their accent comparatively easily.
