Hi Manjin,

Thank you for your comment. We have a variety of hosts and series at Culips, so we can appeal to a wide range of learners. Our Chatterbox series is targeted at intermediate-to-advanced learners who are looking to challenge themselves with more difficult vocabulary, faster speaking speeds, and both Canadian and UK accents.

To my native-speaker ears, Anna speaks very much like a “real person.” What I mean by that is that her speaking is completely natural and unaltered. The language you hear her use on Culips is pretty much exactly what you would hear if you had a conversation with her. We want to teach this kind of real-life English on Culips so that our listeners can achieve high levels of listening fluency that will prepare them for having actual conversations with English speakers. Although it can be difficult and time-consuming, ultimately, to become better listeners, we need to challenge ourselves with content that is outside of our comfort zone.

That being said, please feel free to study with whichever Culips series you like the most. If you’re more interested in American accents, then I recommend Simplified Speech, which I co-host with Suzanne and Kassy, who are both from the USA.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your opinion. I appreciate it.
