It is believed that the single biggest advantage of learning a foreign language from a native speaker is their superior pronunciation.
As one study writes: Native English speaking teachers are the ideal model for language production. Their speech is held up as the gold standard of grammatical correctness and perfect pronunciation

Question 2: Should you pay to listen to native speakers talk?
