Non-native speakers of English who...

• sometimes struggle to understand native and proficient speakers
• would like to learn more about English pronunciation and its variants (e.g., British, American, Australian etc.)
• are interested in reducing their own accent

• There will be no industry specific jargon or strange names

• Here is an excerpt of a feedback video for you to get an idea of how the feedback works.
