Don't get hung up about your accent.  

Whenever people talk about learning and especially speaking a foreign language, there is a lot of discussion about accents.  More often than not, 'I have an accent, I'm a bit embarrassed about it.' 

Well, don't be embarrassed.  I'm from Yorkshire in England and while I speak French daily, I have an accent.  It is, however, a great feeling when I speak fluently, and the words come out with and ease, and I  make the right sounds so that I am understood.

It takes many years of living and speaking a language daily in order to 'eradicate' a foreign accent.  But perhaps instead we can make a few sounds better.  For years I was saying raisin in French incorrectly.  I was annoyed that no one told me.  They probably didn't want to offend.  But I prefer it if people do correct the bigger mistakes.

I have a particular interest in helping foreign speakers to overcome some of English's 'little sound problems'.
