When I attended my first Esperanto conference, I discovered that people spoke Esperanto with regional accents, much the way English is spoken in different ways in different parts of the world. Even though there is a supposedly neutral Esperanto accent, most people betray their country of origin in the way they pronounce. You just have to get used to it. Here is a sampling of three accents. I would be happy to include some more if you have the patience to record the necessary sound files and email them to me. In a pinch, you could just record the words on a cassette tape and mail that to me.
