Hi ... (Do you have a name?)
I'm afraid I don't understand exactly what sort of problem you're talking about. If you could upload a sample of your "typical speech" to the Internet and post the link here, perhaps people will be able to better understand what sort of help you need. . |

Hi! My name is Evelyn...
Basically, I'm looking for a class or website dedicated for those who have very subtle speech "impediments".
I've lurked around quite a bit, but only come across programs or classes dedicated for harder accents (ESL).
I'm very shy, so I think I'll have to avert the sample for now.
Thank you! |

Hi Evelyn
Shyness won't help you to solve your problem, and in fact, trying to overcome some of your shyness may well be the most important step in the solution.
You've taken a step here. Don't stop now. You're on a roll!  . |

Hi Evelyn,
Do you still live in the US? If so, all you need to do is switch on the TV or radio and imitate whatever you hear.
BTW, what makes you think that you have a funny accent?
I'm sure that my accent is much funnier than yours  _________________ Test of English as a Foreign Language TOEFL Preparation & TOEFL Vocabulary Learn more: How to Become an English Teacher |
