Do any or all of these describe you?
- You’ve spent years learning English
- You learned English in native country by someone with an accent
- You feel good about English comprehension
- You feel good about speaking with familiar listeners
- You lose all confidence once you are speaking with native English speakers, with unfamiliar listeners, or in front of a large group
- Native English speakers frequently ask you to repeat yourself – “what, say that again”
- There are communication breakdowns and you’re not sure what you’re saying incorrectly
- People treat you differently because they don’t understand you
- Maybe coworkers avoid speaking with you because of the communication problems
- Your thoughts and ideas are not given as much attention as you think they should
- In your work setting you feel that you have much more to offer than you are giving
- You hesitate to speak up during group discussions or meetings
- You feel that you could do well in a more advanced position – but don’t feel confident in the way you are able to communicate
- You feel that your communication skills or simply your accent is keeping you from progressing in your career.
You are not alone! Hundreds of thousands of non-native English speakers are in your same position and feel this same frustration. The only difference is that you are seeking a solution whereas they are waking up each morning wishing things were different but doing nothing about it.
You are putting yourself in a great position and gaining a very real competitive edge in the marketplace because you are looking to actively work to improve yourself and overcome a very real problem.
In the webinar posted below, we talked about how you as a non-native English speaker can get that dream job or that next promotion in your current job.
I got an email from a past student this week. I had heard that he recently got a new job with the Fortune 500 company, Cisco, and so I emailed him to congratulate him. Here’s part of the response I got from him:
“The new job is definitely a huge win for me. The compensation and benefit package are awesome. The part I like the most is that the job location is about 20 minutes away from where I live. The previous job was very challenging since I needed to spend at least 100 minutes on the road every single work day.
It is incredibly useful to utilize all the skills I learned from Pronunciation Pro. Honestly I am still working at it on a daily basis and feel strongly that I am getting better and better”.
