I’m in San Diego right now, working on my next English trending news video for my channel. While at a Starbucks, a foreign customer asked for the passcode to the bathroom. The worker said it so fast the guy couldn’t catch it. He came back twice — still didn’t work. It made me think… Sometimes it’s not about your listening skills. Sometimes it’s about the other person’s communication style. Same for me — if someone doesn’t understand my accent, I don’t take it personally. I just think, “Oh, okay… this person’s never talked to someone with an accent before.” 😂 #HavingAccentIsOk ⸻ 日本語まとめ 英語の聞き取りができない時、 必ずしも自分のリスニング力の問題とは限りません。 相手の話し方やスピードも大きく影響します。 ## Images 1.
