For Deeper Understanding ～より深い理解へ～
So you’re saying that there is no single model of perfect English pronunciation?
you’re saying that … は「～と言っているのですね」。相手の発言の真意を確認するのに便利なフレーズ。
I’ll stop worrying about perfect pronunciation and focus on enjoying speaking English.
いろいろなポイントのある文。I’ll stop では「意思の will（～するよ）」が使われています。stop の目的語は worrying と動詞 -ing形。to 不定詞は選べません。and 以降の focus が原型なのは I’ll の後ろに続いているから。focus（集中する）は concentrate（集中する）よりも、集中力が強い感触です。focus は「焦点」ですから。
とにかく話すことが大事ですね！
