Hi, I work in a call center and that I've been putting in practice your piece of advise. It's amazing that now I don't have to repeat my sentences very often. An american woman told today that it's been quite a time since she was able to spoke with an agent like me. She said that even though I have accent she could understand everythig I said. You're making my job easier without you realizing it. Thank you.
