Which is more important when you are improving your English speaking, learning the grammar or the accent?

The grammar, the accent is not a problem in speaking English, we are all different, the grammar is the most important part of English language.

In my own experience, my first teacher was a NY citizen,  but the next one was irish.. So i took some expression or 'words' more used when i was speaking.. and people ask me 'excuse me, where are you from?' 

 

When you have a fluent speaking is better you improve your accent, because when you start learning is very common you take the accent of the teacher  had.

Both learning the grammer and accent... both helps in improvig english..

speaking in group and read in aloud voice share in forms

because everybody wants to speak englısh.ıt ıs very useful and the mother language of the world.so we must learn english.at fırstly we must listen english and then on next term we can read and wrıte .ıt ıs also very ımportant to hear what the person ıs talkıng about and suddenly you mıght answer back ıf you could understand...

1- much listening.

2- watching films.

3- searching for a person to talk to him.

4- talking to the self.

5- talking to the overseas world.

Learning the grammar is far more important than the accent, because english language is more about the the mechanism goervening it, meaning the ways it should be spoken than the way it sounds when spoken. There are many people who brag themselves of speaking english language because of the way they sound when they are heard whereas they are not speaking it correctly because of lots of blunders in their grammar.

I think join or communicate with natives in real conversation for a daily basis way better to be fluent

Learning Languages is  like building a house .. so you have to establish your basics before you build your walls ... so i think learning grammars must be in the first instance then the accent  .

Learning the grammar is more important.

As an English teacher in Amman, many students have asked me the same question. My answer is this: Focus more on grammar, because in today's world, employers are looking for people with solid writing and speaking skills in English more than anything else. Its easier to overlook an accent than it is to overlook bad grammar. And you can sound American or British, but if the person you are speaking to doesn't understand what are you are saying, what good is that? For example, in Jordan I occasionally meet people who ask what I do. When I tell them I am an English teacher, they sometimes answer, "Oh! I study English before three years ago."  I think, "Well maybe you should go back and study more." So, in my opinion, its grammar first, accent later.
