Misc/Specials

I was born and raised in Hong Kong as an expatriate with British parents. My school friends were from all different countries so I have a good understanding of different cultures and can imitate different accents convincingly.
I have a recorded a lot of English listening tests where knowledge of phonics correct pronunciation is vital.
