In Italian there are a lot of accents, from one region to another and sometimes even between cities. So “accent problem” is a reality and it could unfortunately be used to discriminate people from different parts of Italy.
Talking about English, when I was at high school my English teacher often corrected my pronunciation and that’s why I’m so shy at speaking English.
I have been in Scotland and Ireland and I noticed different accents and sometimes understanding native speakers was really hard.
