We'll have another episode of The English We Speak soon.
But today, we're continuing with our special series Beating Speaking Anxiety,
a podcast to help you fight your fears of speaking in English.
This episode is called I'm Scared People Won't Understand Me.
Have you ever worried about your accent?
When I speak to people, I'm a bit nervous that they don't understand me,
what I mean, what I would say.
If you could wake up tomorrow morning with any English accent in the world,
what would you like to wake up with?
When I start to realize that people don't understand me, I lost my confidence after it.
Instead of teaching so-called correct native English to learners,

Today, we're going to talk about how to make sure people understand you in English.
Hello and welcome to Beating Speaking Anxiety,
