I always try to force myself to have a decent accent, i cannot say the same from many "english" natural speaker.........
So maybe before criticizing the siesta people think how many different accent we are supposed to understand.........
Dear Flareflyer,
I absolutely understand what you are talking about, because I am from non english enviroment country as well. I can hardly speak and my grammer is night mare. .-)
Worse case scenario was flying with somobody from UK ... perfetct english ... probably too perfect for my knowledge. So for my self it is long life fight to be better and improve a little bit.
But my point was not about accent or that somebody is not native .... that would mean shooting in own foot, but point was about guys like me and you who has real level lf 4,5 but they have from some “tricky” reason ELP 6. And believe me I met a lot of them ... as well many imigrants with US passport, with strong latino accent hard to understand, but showing to everybody .... ELP6 ..... and because there is in our gulf area a lot issue with comm, thats sound like reaction ... not talking solution, just reaction ...
