Hey guys! It is Aiko with Schwagirl. I am an American English pronunciation coach.

Welcome to my podcast “The Voice of English” Season 2.

Season 2 focuses more on communication. In each episode, I bring a guest and he/she will give us tips to become a better communicator as a person who speaks English as a second language. And I said “us” because it includes me. I speak English as a second language. I came to the US when I was 23. I had a hard time in the US because of my English accent. If you are going through a hard time, don’t give up your dreams and goals. And I hope this podcast will encourage and empower you! –Who is Aiko?

In Episode 28, I invited Masayoshi Sobue the English communication coach based in Australia.

Masayoshi Sobue lives in Australia and currently works as a baker at a big supermarket chain. He migrated from Japan to Australia around 12 years ago and took a Baking & Patisserie course at TAFE (Technical And Further Education) in Cairns. At the moment, he just started off his carrier in English coaching specializing in English communication. His passion in his business is to help and encourage people who live in Australia and still struggle to communicate in English with others especially with native speakers of English.
