Accents aren’t really an obstacle to learning a language, it’s lack of variation in teachers is that presents the real obstacle. Any good intensive foreign language program will rotate teachers frequently to force students to learn past the different speakers cadences, speech patterns, accents and individual linguistic nuances. Forcing a curriculum of flat, accentless instruction is only going to help students understand flat, accentless conversations instead of helping them adopt the language on a much more adaptive and intuitive level.

that didn’t make any sense. what is a flat, accentless instruction?
