Posted in: Ideally, should English teachers at schools in Japan be native speakers? Can non-native English speakers do just as well or better? See in context
I'm not native speaker of english or japanese and I have never had a native teacher of those languages. That being said, I agree that a native speaker could be better at some point because the cultural background that teacher could teach besides the language itself. Ideally that teacher could explain more things about the culture (American, British, etc) than a teacher that have never been to or lived in a english speaking country. About accents... if you hear enough people speak in english you may notice their accents and there are differences. As long as your accent is not really heavy for making the word you are trying to say completely understable, it shoulnd't be a problem.
