Introducing the Speak English Better Blog
I hope this blog is exactly what you are looking for. I plan to regularly add information, tips, free resources and articles relevant to accent reduction, English fluency, international business and culture, among other topics.
As a Communication Coach and Trainer in Toronto, Ontario Canada I deal a lot with people from different backgrounds and different levels of English fluency. It is part of my job to help ESL (English as a Second Language) students, immigrants, overseas company executives and managers etc. improve their overall ability to speak English with native speakers like myself.
This allows them to feel more at ease, gain more confidence in interviews and at the office, develop friendships and professional relationships quickly and also integrate faster in their new city.
