British English speakers, really? Cool.

I have the "Standard American English" accent, the accent they teach to American newscasters, only I seem to have come by it naturally. I can be understood by any English-speaking person in the world, because my accent is so standard and neutral, which makes me a good trainer for the huge international company I work for. People have told me that I'd be a good speaker for language lessons. Do you know of any openings for someone like me? (I can use the money to defray the visa-related fees!!)

Yes, all well and good but that is still not British English; which is quite distinct from your accent.

Speedwell

British and American accents are not the same. Hmm, let me think about that. You know, I believe you're right!

Bob

What's involved in the online tuition?

Would be interested in this if I can fit it around the little people.

Am I? Am I really?

Below is the Craig's list posting
It is teaching Germans, so probably middle of the day timing, to match with after work in Germany

Damn, except for the part about it being British English that they want, they basically quoted my CV. Thanks, kimilseung.

Bob

Apart from teaching people bit, I'd say I'd have that in the bag then

Oh well, cheers for posting it

As a scouser, I was relieved that I passed the accent interview. (2nd of 3 interviews, for a p/t job) I am guessing that what currently comes out of my mouth is far less scouser sounding than how it sounds in my head.

I haven't taught corporate clients so that lets me out.
Good luck Kim. It sounds interesting.

I like their apparent business model. In fact, I like the idea of making languages easy. Period. (sic).

Very interesting info, although I don't think I am up for the job.
