I am working with an MNC company involved in Agro Commodity Trading as an HR professional. I am looking for a spoken English/Voice Neutralization Trainer for one of our employees who is influenced by their mother tongue. His job profile requires interaction with people from different countries.

Can you please provide information on the employee's background, mother tongue, education, etc.? Are there any words or alphabets that pose difficulties for him? By understanding these aspects, I will be able to recommend exercises to help reduce the influence of his mother tongue.
Thank you.

Understanding MTI and Improving Pronunciation
MTI (Mother Tongue Influence) is a natural issue caused by the inability to place our tongue correctly for consonant sounds.
The basic difference between Indians speaking English and Americans and Brits is that the latter drop their lower jaws while speaking, open their mouths more, and produce crisper and clearer sounds. The Indian tendency to not open the mouth hampers the proper mouth formation necessary for these sounds.
Key Sounds to Focus On
The key sounds to work on are 'T', 'P', 'K', 'S', 'Sh', 'Z', 'Zh'. Overcoming the barrier of MTI requires practicing reading English aloud in front of a mirror. Observing your own mouth formation can significantly aid in improving pronunciation. Additionally, practicing with someone proficient in English can be beneficial.
Hope this information is helpful. Sharing what was shared with me.
