Before this course, I wasn't comfortable talking to American colleagues, only the other Indians on my team. Now I understand how the Indian accent is different from American English, and I am more confident speaking to Americans at work and elsewhere. I love the detailed videos, and the MP3 files I can use to practice.

I worked on my own for a long time and still didn't know what was different about my accent until this course. It really helped me hear what I am doing when I speak English, and learn about how to improve my accent. There are a lot of materials and the videos are really well organized and helpful.
