Or how often have you seen subtitles so crumpled or of such poor quality that they made you feel like your brain was melting?

It’s because pronunciation and your accent is an important factor in the learning process.

Everyone speaks with a variety of different accents in different situations, depending on who they’re talking to and what they want to achieve by talking.

Even if you try to sound like a student of the language at hand, there are likely to be tell-tale clues that you are in fact unacquainted with the particulars of the accent there.
