= Improve English Fluency… Have A Coffee Break! =
I’d like to share a funny story with you this time. As you already know, I’m not a native English speaker – and I live in a country called Ireland.
I’ve been here for quite a long time and I’m not planning go back to my own country in the near future. And now I’m feeling like I’ve become a part of this whole culture, Irish traditions and everything else.
But the first thing that struck me when I just arrived here was the local accent. Yes, I had studied English at home – but the way Irish spoke was something completely un-understandable! I always had to apologize and ask to repeat the same question again and again until I was able to get it!
And I guess you may have experienced similar feelings having gone abroad or living in a foreign country, haven’t you?
But today’s story isn’t about how well we can understand other accents and ways of pronunciation. It’s about how well the native English speakers can get what WE say.
