我没有ACCENT，可能有的词发音不对，这个就要靠自己听了，别人怎么说的就怎么学， 比如，别人说PAIN IN THE NECK的时候是怎么说的，要尽力去模仿。其次，自己的 ACCENT，要经常被人拿出来笑话， 比如ALLEN，念做爱L LIN，两个L都要发音，中国人的L发音不对，不是很重，就是舌头 不打弯，念错的单词要反复练，然后让同事孩子邻居给纠正，不能轻易放过一个单词， 一个发音。你去找工作发音不对，人听不懂，是不会原谅你的。比如VOILIN的V发音的 时候要闭嘴，中国人很容易发成WOILIN。 【 在 boohockey (Pursuit of Dreams!) 的大作中提到: 】 : how about your accent? : and it is very difficult to correct the grammer by just speaking a lot

I had the exact question before only to find out it wasn't the question to ask.
The real question is how can you learn to enjoy the conversation with others . It will certainly help if you can have someone teach you the proper pronunciation, but it varies how you can really benefit from it. I would rather spend more time on learning American culture and exploring any bit of fun in my daily life and work.
Let me ask you this: When talking to an American who can speak Chinese, would you rather one with accent but can initiate interesting conversations? Or the one who speaks perfect Chinese but is boring?

想问一下LZ指的"speaking with Americans"是平时买东西问路什么的随便说几句，还 是有几个和你比较要好的American朋友经常混？光是前者的话作用不大。当初我练英语 时经常有发音不准而被美国朋友取笑，笑多了才能记得住，就是这样磨练出来的。现在 的中国人多数扎堆，真正和美国人交流的机会不多，英语improve不了也是难怪的。
