This recording will be useful for IELTS speaking exam takers as well as for people who prepare for a job interview.

When it comes to your communication in English - does an accent play an important role? How much? How can you avoid having your mother tongue language influence it?

Above all, what can you do with the thought itself - "what if others don't understand my accent', "what if I will make others confused". 

For most people - they continue to run these kinds of thoughts through their minds not doing anything about it and the idea is to train your mind to replace them. 

Listen to the podcast, it's only 5 minutes to A) train your listening B) get some ideas to succeed in an IELTS speaking exam or a job interview.
