Accents and Dialects

It totally depends on what English accent you started off with. And by English accent, I assume you mean accents of people whose first language is English, not those who live in England. Some of the accents people have trouble with can include some Caribbean accents (Trinidadi in particular), Western Australian, Newfoundland, Cockney, Broad Scots, various African-American accents and Tennessee/Kentucky. Of course, people from Scotland do not find Broad Scots to be particularly difficult, but they might have trouble with someone from Kentucky. An American may have no difficulty with the guy from Kentucky, but find the Trinidadi incomprehensible. Someone from Jamaica may find the Trinidadi to be quite clear but think the Australian is speaking a different language. And so on. It's a matter of what you are used to.

Perception of accents is subjective and influenced by cultural differences. Americans may find English accents funny or charming due to differences in pronunciation, intonation, and expressions compared to their own accent. This can create a sense of amusement or novelty.

Accents develop due to a combination of historical, social, and geographical factors that influence the way people speak in different regions. These include settlement patterns, communication with nearby communities, and linguistic influences from other languages.

To communicate effectively with customers who have different language dialects or accents, it's important to use clear and simple language, speak slowly and enunciate words, and be patient and respectful. Avoid using slang or jargon that may be difficult for the customer to understand, and offer alternative forms of communication, such as written instructions or visuals, if needed. It's also helpful to listen actively, ask clarifying questions, and confirm understanding to ensure effective communication.

Some potential disadvantages of speaking include misunderstandings due to unclear communication, unintended offense or conflict from the message delivered, and the inability to take back spoken words once they are said. Additionally, speaking requires energy and effort, and it may not always be the most effective means of communication depending on the situation or audience.

A dialect is a specific form of a language spoken in a particular region or community, while a pidgin is a simplified language that arises from contact between speakers of different languages who do not share a common language. Dialects can be more complex and have a longer history than pidgins.

In America, you will be far more easily understood if you learn an American dialect, and you will better understand American speakers. The appeal of learning British English (most commonly Received Pronunciation or "Queen's English," which is the BBC accent or basically Emma Watson's accent) is lessened greatly by the many vocabulary differences that may result in more confusion than help. And a non-native English speaker will have an accent to begin with, so learning English in a different dialect adds another layer of accent that may interfere with people understanding you. It would be more practical to learn American English and later learn the differences in British English to be able to do a British accent after you've reached English proficiency that's applicable in your new home country.

Accents can vary based on pronunciation, intonation, rhythm, and vocabulary. They are influenced by factors such as region, culture, language background, and exposure to other accents. Accents can also affect how words are stressed and the unique way certain sounds are articulated.
