Kazakh accent in English

I want to presuppose that all of you might heard about accents in English language, didn't you?

Well, about 70% of our people I met know only American and British accents. In spite of this there are dozens of accents in English language. Take the UK as an example: there are about 40 different accents.

Beside that in today's modern world every second person speaks English (that's happening in Kazakhstan as well). But accent matters. Since we're not native speakers, it's not sensitive for us to pronunce words properly or sound like a native.

I remember my teacher from Texas told me: ''Hey, you're from Kazakhstan but you don't have russian accent, huh?!''

I replied back: ''Naah, I don't have indeed. I have kazakh accent though''. Why would I have russian accent?

Then I started exploring different accents (Asian, Middle Eastern, African, Chinese, American, British, Kazakh, and Russian). Precisely it was difficult but interesting. I was obsessed by this topic. Then I developed my own accent which is neither American nor British.

As my friend Leslie Watchorn says: ''Do not try to imitate other speaker's accents, but be the best speaker of your own nation''.

Leslie is my friend, but I have to disagree with him :)  Enjoy the video ;)
