<p>I have never talked to a teacher about anything except grades and tests and stuff like that. But I have been feeling really sad for a few month now, because while I love spanish class and I am doing pretty well in it, I feel like I have a huge problem - pronunciation/understanding. It is even worse that English is my 3rd language, so I have a horrible, ugly, heavy Russian accent, and I talk very fast in Russian so that doesn't contribute to good pronunciation - people understand me, and I have no accent, but I could ideally speak much more clearly. And now, Spanish, the only class i ever spoke in(because we speak in Spanish and no one has to hear my ugly English), the class I loved so much.But now my classmates understand people who have worse Spanish that I do, but don't understand me... It literally makes me cry(at home in my room of course, i would never cry at school). I want to talk to my Spanish teacher about it and what I can do and why that happens etc, but I don't know if I should? I mean, she is a good teacher, and seems to be a nice person, but I don't know if it is her job... any thoughts?</p>
<p>and if i am going to talk to her it will be something like "I don't undestand why so many people in the class don't understand me. what can i do/change?" </p>
<p>on one hand it is a language problem, but on the other she is just supposed to teach us grammar and go home so i don;t know</p>
<p>I think you should definitely talk to her about it. It’s a problem that you should not be ashamed of at all! It’s the same as someone having trouble solving quadratics in Maths or balancing equations in Chemistry…it’s definitely not something to cry about. Don’t worry! </p>
<p>A good teacher doesn’t just “teach you grammar and go home”…she cares that you’re doing alright in her class. I’m sure if you come to her and calmly talk to her about your problem and about how much it is bothering you, she will be glad to help, give you tips and advice.</p>
<p>The biggest thing is, though: don’t stress out about it so much! You should feel proud that you’re speaking three languages!</p>
<p>You really should talk to your teacher about it, if you’re pretty sure that it’s about the pronounciation itself.Ask her for a little extra help:)</p>
<p>…But if you’re sure that the kids at your sc understand people who have worse pronounciations than YOU do, then maybe they’re just faking on purpose-the problem might not just be with your pronounciation.</p>
<p>Your written English seems to be great-if you speak as you write then they will have no problem at all understanding you even if you do have an accent. </p>
