How can we get a butter tongue?

The pronunciation is absolutely visible part when people study foreign languages. Especially English teachers have been under pressure with this problem. It is because more and more people believe that English teachers should pronounce just like a native
speakers of English. Of course there are also some people who says ponounciation and grammar is not much important when we communicate with foreigners by their mother tongue.
For instance, Europeans can speak or write at least 3 languages. English, French, Germany or Spanish etc. They don't feel any discomfortness using variable languages.
However, their pronunciation is terrible! I mean their personal intonations and accents are really matter. Therefore we do not need to get much stress with pronunciation. More important thing is the content which we try to turn over.



English teachers also do not have to pronounce fluently. However their visible pronunciation directly shows their self-assurance. Therefore we should struggle ourselves to feel comfortable with English pronunciation.
