Hi everybody, this is Mr. Duncan in England. How are you doing today? Are you okay? I hope so.
Many people ask me, “Mr. Duncan, what is the best way to speak English? Is it with American accent or a British accent?” I think this is a very interesting question indeed but my answer to this question is quite simple. You use the English that you feel the most comfortable with. You do not have to sound like an American when you are speaking, you do not have to sound like a British first when you are speaking. As long as you feel comfortable with the way, you use English that is the most important thing of all.
Of course, it is also important that the other person understand what you are saying as well. So do not worry too much about sounding like somebody else. Do not try to copy somebody else as way of speaking. What you have to do is develop your own way of using English. Do not forget English is an emotional language. It is a personal language.
It is the language that you use to express the way you feel. Do not worry about sounding like somebody else. Use English as you would your own language in your own way to express the way you feel. You do not have to sound like Mr. Duncan, you do not have to sound like some American, and you do not have to sound like anybody. What you have to sound like is you.
This is Mr. Duncan in England saying bye for now.
