#227 The Daily English Show FAQ

Hmmm, I can now understand why you speak so slowly in the recent shows. In this video you're speaking quite fast and with your accent it can be hard for people who learn English to understand you...

it s old show but I hadn't seen it so it was very interesting for me (I subscribed when TDES was about 700)
your accent was vary hard at first for me . but now I can understand you very well without any problem(my mother tongue is farsi) so I think it was so good to experience NZ accent too.

Not only is your accent perfectly fine, [well, for a Kiwi ;o) ], but I'd say that exposure to different accents is strongly recommended. People generally learn English because of its use as the international language and this means that people from all over the world will use it, and they each have their own accent, according to their native language. It's important that students of English are exposed to these and get used to them. American English is not the only dialect ;o)

Hi, I really like the way you talk and what you say in lovely English!

sarah ,you show is great .I like your how very much ,hope there will be more great show in the future

Did you have a job when you got to tokyo? And I think your english is perfect.

If even a brazilian can totally understand you...

not to mention, i'm canadian, so i'm more used to canadian/american accents, but i can still undertsand you a whole lot better than alot of americans from the southern states. lol

ya, alot of americans seem to be quite ignorant, and oblivious to the rest of the world, lol
