I love the Hill-Billy (not Hick-Bonics) Jokes. I am from Ky and proud to be a Southerner. And I am also proud to say, I do have enough sense to stay away from the edge of cliffs, unlike some,(mostly Northerners who fall over),and then my son has to risk his life to rescue them. As a last note, Have a great day Y'all

There's nothing wrong with an accent -- everybody has one, even native speakers. You really need to focus on the clarity of your speech -- how clear it is and how well people understand you. If people understand you well, don't worry about it because it's not important. If people are having problems understanding you because of your pronunciation, then can you find a way to get conversation practice with a native speaker/s? Also, you can review the correct lip, tongue and jaw positions for consonant and vowel sounds in the texts you have. Using those mouth positions correctly helps minimize pronunciation problems. The best thing that English language teachers can do is learn to not be uptight about accents. There isn't one that's better than others. Clarity is important; accents aren't.
