Accent like that of natives.
I have had quite a few Asian students. It can be very difficult teaching the way words change in the sentence, with present, past and future tense and plural, singular.

Pronounciation as this has to do with sounds and it becomes confusing for teachers and students at times.

At first, I struggle with "Phrasal Verbs"
From my professional experience teaching English for over 6 years, it is quite ironic that the biggesr problem students face when learning English is simply shyness and lack of confidence. It's scary to make mistakes and be judged for your language skills. That's why I think it's crucial for any educator to provide a safe and supportive environment for students to be able to express themselves freely without any hesitation and fear. Another problem students face when learning English is limited vocabulary. We can expand our vocabulary by incorporating English language into everyday life. By reading, watching movies, listening to music, and engaging in other activities in English, one can learn a vast amount of new vocabulary. Keep up the great work, guys. It's admirable that you study hard to improve your language skills.
