Hi everybody! I find myself wondering--you guys who read my blog, my readers--what kinds of things in English and Accent Reduction do you most want to learn? What kinds of situations in America give you the most trouble?
Do you have trouble making what Americans call "small talk" with Americans or in America--the social talk that people make at work or at social functions, dinners, parties and so on?
Do you have cultural troubles, where something Americans do mystifies, maybe upsets you a little bit?
Have you ever tried to order dinner and been upset when the server didn't understand what you were asking for? This happened to one of my students.
I'd love to hear from you guys. What are your troubles with American English and accent? How do they show themselves in your daily life in America?
