I have just joined the group and found that the content shared here is very informative. I'm working on a PPT currently to be used for my US trainees on understanding the Indian accent. I request you to share your kind inputs, data, or any help would be great.

Thanks!

Hi Srirekham, I am Rohit Narain, a trainer with some experience in accent neutralization. The biggest challenge you may face is that there is no standard Indian accent. You could focus on the local accent of the particular region that your US clients interact with. I suggest that you focus on the following three topics in your training:

1. Vowel and consonant sounds
2. Intonation
3. Phraseology and 'Indianisms'

Please let me know if you need any assistance in this matter. Good luck!

Regards,
Rohit
