Hi everyone,

I’m a French-speaking student preparing to start a PhD in London soon. I want to improve my English as much as possible before I arrive, especially for academic discussions and presentations.

What methods helped you most when improving your English before studying or working in the UK? Any tips for sounding more natural and confident in academic settings would be really appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’m a French-speaking student planning to apply for a PhD in London. During a conversation, a potential supervisor commented on my accent, which made me a bit worried.

Do you think having a non-native English accent could cause problems in UK universities or in daily life? Would it affect how people treat me or my academic experience?

Thank you!
