Majored in English at uni, got a TEFL or ESL certification, studied some other related humanities subject?
Friends laughed, parents were concerned, right? Well tell them to calm

What is TOEFL?
The Test of English as a Foreign Language measures non-native English speakers’ ability to use and understand English in academic settings.
Widely accepted by universities 🎓 and institutions worldwide, TOEFL assesses reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills through internet-based testing (iBT).
Scores help admissions officers evaluate readiness for studying and working in English speaking countries.

Looking for a good language movie? Well, look no more, we've got you covered.

The problem is George stutters, badly. And, this is wartime England! People wanted to hear a voice that sounds confident. George seeks help from a speech therapist.

English-language comprehension and basic verbal skills also help coordinate with international emergency teams and medical staff.
