      Hi Dear!

       

      Right from the word go I’ve been mesmerized by your voice! If we were to look up to someone, it would be no one else other than my sweet Lama! You’re really the cream of the crop! I’m simply proud of you!

       

      Regards,

      I like your British accent, Lama. Do you have some tips to have neutral accent when we talk in English? I guess I can't have the British accent, but I want to reduce my native accent when talking in English.

      Hi Ario!

      Firstly, thanks for listening to my recording. Secondly, well...my accent is not really Birtish; it's ,honestly, more like a combination of both American and British ;-P. As for the tips, well, I once published a blog pivoted on this exact topic. Here's the link:

      I also wrote another blog concerning pronunciation and how to look like natives. You may be interested in having a look at it:

      Hope you get benefit and enjoy your time :-)

      I have difficulty to understand the last blog post Pronunciation Clues because I don't really understand phonetic chart.

       

      But, the first blog is great. I'll try to apply the tips. Thanks
