Got a new job but I'm struggling with English
Hi folks, I've just started a new job, and I have to spend most of them coding and discussing it with other people. I'm not a native speaker, my English level is around B2/C1. Although it has been ok, I still struggle when I have to speak my mind or write an email to a client in front of everybody (so I can't use gpt). I know that if I have patience this experience will help me to improve my English, but it's hard to fail in front of my coworkers. I'm planning to go back to study English and I was evaluating the options, basically Lingoda, Babbel and Cambly. I'm thinking about having most group classes and a few one-on-one (though I didn't have great exp with those). I believe that a structured class might help. I'd like to do one 30/60 mins class per day, and some extra on the weekends, for 2 or 3 months. And for to accomplish this I think Lingoda or Babbel have the best prices. This job is very important to me, and I'd love to hear your opinion and other ideas on how I could tackle this situation.
What does my accent sound like?
I have a weirdly high pitched voice
pull through (phrasal verb)
When do you use it? Here's my try: I've pulled through this month but it was rough. (i could barely make ends meet). I went down with a cold outside last friday but i've just pulled through this midweek. In time to get back to work! (check the grammars, please) (I take other suggestions and examples be free to get across your thoughts).

Post Guidelines - How to get meaningful feedback
Hello all, This post is a general guide on what you can do as someone uploading clips of your speech to try and set yourself up for getting more and better feedback from the community. A lot of this comes from my personal opinions on the types of clips I like to give feedback to, as well as what I've seen people in the community say. **1. General information** Including general information in your post can help people give more tailored feedback. For example, what sort of accent are you trying to go for? What specific things do you struggle with? Why are you trying to improve your accent (for daily speech, a job, etc.)? **2. Audio quality** Not everyone has access to a good microphone or quiet environment. However, to the extent possible, try to limit background noise. One simple method is recording under a blanket or in a closet of some form. Also, I suggest testing out your volume before recording a full clip. I pass on reviewing many clips due to them being too quiet. **3. Clip length** As other users have suggested, please try to shoot for a clip \~30 seconds or more. I think the golden window is between 0:45 and 1:30, depending on the speaker. It's going to be hard to give meaningful feedback on a single sentence. **4. Transcriptions/texts** This is personally relevant for me when it comes to foreign languages that I am not as proficient in. Nevertheless, when reading from a text, please share the text you're reading from. It saves people from having to guess what you were trying to say, and just removes an extra layer of complications from giving feedback. ​ This is not a final list, and feel free to share your gripes/suggestions, and I can add them to the list above.
