People who speak English come from many different countries and regions,and they have all kinds of different accents.It may be hard to understand them at first, but after a little while it gets easier.You may have to ask them to speak more slowly at first.Oh, by the way,you know that I am from Mexico and I am studying English.
The last semester went for improve my pronunciation and learn more of other culture.
The first time was very dificult for my understand because the people spoke faster and sometimes I feeling badly.
