Foreign Accents

It’s very interesting to hear all sort of English accents at work. But how does it affect the communication process or should we ask, does it or does it not? Well my personal opinion is that it sure does. An incomprehensible accent is obviously not going to get you too far. People want to understand what they hear and sometimes too thick or too broken words aren’t the best thing you want to hear all day long. But again, some accents are very attractive and make one listen to what has been said. So I believe even though its sometime hard to take over your foreign accent but one certainly should try to blend with the local people so that speaking does not become a handicap for him.
