In order for us to be able to easily communicate with native speakers and meet our needs as immigrants, we need to have a good level of language proficiency. This good level includes knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and listening skills.
As an immigrant living in an English-speaking country (or a country where English is widely spoken), we need to get used to different accents. However, this is not always easy.
Understanding accents such as Australian, Indian, Chinese, Filipino, etc. is usually difficult for immigrants. Being in these situations and not having enough skill to understand them greatly reduces our confidence and makes it difficult for us to communicate.
We have designed a workshop at Lingumi for you dear immigrants, where you can better understand different accents and communicate more easily.
In this workshop, you will watch videos of different accents, do various exercises to improve your listening skills, and most importantly, the instructor of the workshop, as a native speaker, will share his solutions and experiences to help you understand different accents.

Workshop instructor: Mahya Jaberi

Mahya is a graduate of UC Berkeley and Columbia University and grew up in California, meaning she is a native speaker. On the other hand, due to her high interest in Iran, her motherland, she has always tried to help Iranian language learners in the past years by teaching Persian and English.
