Most languages have regional differences in pronunciation, so being able to pick up on how the people you’re speaking to pronounce things is a really valuable skill for language in general. As a native English speaker, I’ve always been quite good at learning to imitate accents (I can probably do about 10 or so different English-language accents), and I think it’s really helped when I’ve started learning other languages. I’ve been complimented for my pronunciation even early on (mainly using audio courses to start).
