the lady who presented had an accent.
On the way out of the meeting room, a coworker laughed about her accent.
I found it hard to understand some words too. So I am think I might need to correct my accent.
Also one friend who is a vice principle of an elementry school told me it took her one year full time to study to eliminate her accent.
It's hard to be a teacher with accent.
I'm not a teacher but I think it's necessary to correct my accent for me go forward.
I asked my kids to correct me but our topics are limited.
