Due to my background in linguistics, I have a very deep respect for all languages and all varieties of English. Language is linked so closely with identity - it really does say a lot about who you are, and I respect that. Unlike many language programs where participants are expected to speak as someone would in the UK or USA, I would much rather let you speak the way you are comfortable speaking and focus more on making sure you get your message across clearly so that real communication takes place.
