Dear Ninay, I think it is almost impossible for a person from another country to speak like a native. Why bother.?

As I have already discussed in another post, your accent is exactly what makes you interesting to a native speaker.

Believe me when I say, that you will attract far more attention with your accent then a British girl would.

As we are talking about accent, few questions I have about it.

I recently listened to a program on BBC radiowales. But a girl there was talking so fast that I had to listen her more than once.

1)
At what speed do you (British) natives speak generally (of course while talking with natives :))?

2)
While speaking, that girl said, "I am not that much of pink person". What does this mean?

Gray, some folk can listen to Radio Wales a dozen times, and still not understand.

Native speakers speak fast, but native listeners can understand every word.

Speeds of up to 100 miles an hour have been recorded when my Mother is angry. LOL.

Pink Person ?. Perhaps she is a coloured person.

Continuing with the speak, how do you perceive the American accent? No offence but I find British one more polite :)

I just do not like Americans, nor their accents. ------- EOS.

Hi kitosdad I think that all what you said was right it's so hard to speak like a native british but I still wonder , I'm going to come to England after high school graduation , am I going to understand what native people say when I talk to? I'm afraid that I may have difficulties when I talk to them because many of my french people say that it's so hard to understand native , americans perhaps but british ?
and thanks again for that answer you're so kind

[Kitosdad]

Hi Ninay, it is possible for you to make a voice recording here. Why not try it, and then we can give you a more definite opinion.

hi kitosdad it's a great idea but what am I going to say then?

[Infin1ty]

Hello Ninay, perhaps you could start with 'how to say thank you in you native language'.
