What do native speakers think about foreign accent and wrong pronunciation?

Vedi una traduzione

I think it depends on the person hearing it, and also the accent.

Depending on the accent, a lot of people think they're cute or even attractive. But if it's a very thick accent, people may find it harder to understand sometimes. Also for certain accents, some obnoxious Americans have this habit of responding by speaking very slow and very loud, as if they think you can't understand them just because you have an accent >_< But if anybody judges you because of an accent, they're an idiot. Most people will understand that your accent isn't a reflection of your intelligence.

As for wrong pronunciation, that can be kind of cute too :D It's only really important as long as you get the meaning across. People won't usually correct your pronunciation unless you ask them to though, so if you want them to help you improve, just ask!
