I am trying to look for a club wherein the participants are Americans or British because I want to adapt their accents apart from developing confidence in public-speaking. Thanks Ravoof!

Im not sure what you want. If you are staying near Dubai Internet City, you can try around that area. Most of the clubs are a mix of all cultures. Try searching for clubs in your area and speak to some to find out. I am not aware of such clubs. Please do check. Cheers Hi Nin. Im not sure what you want.

I do not know if you know this But Balan Vijaykumar was once upon a time a brand new speaker….and would be believe….once upon a time….my mentee!!! Wow…when I think of it….it amazes me to even consider this fact…. This man whom I today share thoughts, ideas and suggestions on speaking – was once my mentee! And from being a mentee – Today he is The Undisputed Tall Tales Champion, A senior Toastmaster whom all respect and yes, The District Finalist for both – The Humorous Speech Contest as well as The Table Topics Contest. This email is not me taking credit or recognition for him being my mentee a long, long, long time ago Rather it is to bring to light the fact that From being a fairly new Speaker Who used to shiver with every speech Stands in the rare company of being called a ‘Speaking Champion’. There are some who are born as good speakers. There are some who gain the advantage of becoming good speakers. And then there are those who go through the grind of working hard For weeks and weeks Months and months Years and Years And then achieve the rare privilege of becoming a Champion Speaker…. And Balan Vijaykumar is one of them. He never gave up. He never got discouraged He never stopped achieving excellence. This is the man whom I believe has taken the long road being a Champion. Along with Shurooq, I wish Balan Vijay Kumar – irrespective whichever club he represents To know we all wish him well…. And we are all very proud of his achievement. Balan Vijaykumar – A long journey towards being a Champion.
