They might not even understand a native speaker with a different accent or a British person. This person has no practice hearing English with any other accent besides what they use. Older people might also be in this category, ages 60 and up. A person at this age might also have hearing issues. Don&#8217;t give up on speaking to them! They will have very interesting things to say. They have lived long lives and they have insight into historical events that you&#8217;ll never hear from people your age. Here is what you can do if you notice that they are puzzled. You can say:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry. Should I repeat myself&#8221;?<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Did you get that&#8221;?<\/li>\n<li>Slow down and say each sound clearly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>#2: A native speaker who is used to hearing international accents.<\/strong> This person has heard international people speaking English. They might have a coworker from another country or they\u00a0 have interacted with international people in shops or at restaurants but they don&#8217;t experience international accents all of the time. They might need a little bit more time to adjust to hearing your accent. This is the majority of people in the US. You should expect that you&#8217;ll have to repeat what you say.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Should I repeat that?&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>#3: A native speaker who listens to international accents all day or a teacher.<\/strong> Jessica and Lindsay fall into this category. It doesn&#8217;t matter what your accent is. We will understand immediately. The native speakers that participate in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/adventure\">Boston Adventure<\/a> will fall into this category or somewhere in between category 2 and 3.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The takeaway:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To connect with people we need to meet people where they are at.<\/p>\n<p>Not everyone is going to be at the same level in terms of understanding international accents.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why we created <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/connection\">our course<\/a> to help you build the skills to speak with anyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you know how to connect with any type of native speaker at any time?
