Hello and welcome back to one more episode! Today's episode is all about accents, a controversial topic in the language learning world. As a native British English teacher, I often receive questions about how a student might 'lose' their accent. In this episode I will talk about this aspect of the language learning industry,  the role of pronunciation in learning English, and I will also be talking about my own experiences of speaking a second language. I would like to thank João Pedro Pena, one of my ex-students, who makes a guest appearance in this episode. Thank you João! This podcast is 100% in English and is focused on English language learners, however I speak at a normal speed, so after listening for the first time, I invite you to read the transcript which you can request through my website. You can find out more about me and my work by accessing my social media pages and on my website https://www.talk2rachel.com.br. I hope you enjoy this episode! See you soon, Rachel
