What is more important, speaking correct English or to have native accent?
Personally speaking, correct grammar or correct English is more important than having a good accent.
Think of this scenario, you have a good accent but your grammar is incorrect hence this will result to poor communication.
Having a good accent will eventually follow if you keep practicing by speaking English.
GRAMMAR IS VERY IMPORTANT BUT ACCENT JUST WHEN YOU SPEAK WITH FOREGN PEOPLE
The two things are two faces to the same coin!
communication is the most important as long as you don't have an interpreter in the picture.
In my opinion, speaking correct English is more important than having a native accent. Although most of the time, GRAMMATICALLY correct English- if that’s what you mean- with an excellent intonation makes a native speaker accent; but not the other way around.
As a matter of fact, when you speak correct English you’ll be understood by everyone, including native speakers themselves whereas having a native speaker accent doesn’t mean that you’ll be understood by all the people-even if it were a native speaker.
So, no need to roll your r’s with an American-like accent, if you don’t know that “knowed” is not the correct past tense form of “to know” J
accent is how the words or a language are enunciated or articulated by person associated by a particular country or locality. I do believe that in order to speak english is to know precisely the english grammar and vocabulary. it is not sufficient that you know the native accent of different words without knowing its vocabulary and in constructing sentences or group of words either in writing or in speaking. these are tje rudiments of writing and speaking.
In English, like any other language, there are many bad accents too. Some so called native speakers are difficult to understand even in their own countries.
