There's a huge number of $100+ an hour tutoring businesses to be built, and plausibly some very large companies serving as demand gen, around this. The need isn't new, at all, but the addressable scale is.https://twitter.com/philfreo/status/1187485837631602690 …

Can confirm - the language school my partner works at has made a lot of money doing sessions for Japanese auto industry workers in the Detroit metro area

Something always feels remarkably strange to me when I hear someone ESL pronouncing vowels in the British or Australian way. My brain has neutral nets for parsing English spoken in one later of accent, but they break right now when exposed to two.

While we're talking funny reactions to accents: in Denmark, people tell me I sound like the Princess when I speak Danish because she is Australian.

I first learned Japanese in south Osaka-fu. Pure Osaka-ben. Back in the UK I picked up Hyoujungo from my tutors. Subsequent trips were all to Kanto, so that's how I stayed. Except around Osaka-jin when my accent reverts and I sound like an Osaka girl trying to talk posh.

I’m not sure if it’s weird or not, but I’m a native English speaker and I also try to sound like I’m from nowhere in particular. I’ve spent most of my time in the Midwest, but I don’t want to sound like I’m from there, and I intentionally avoid it as best I can.
