Any one know of Accent reduction courses / programs in London, UK ?
Hello all,
I recently moved to London from NY. As a kid I grew up in India and hence I do have a curry soaked accent. My command on English language is good ( I write for news papers in London). I was wondering if anyone knows of accent reduction programs in London. I appreciate any help I may receive.
Thanks Karthik
