What are the Danish embarrassed about? C++? C#? Delphi? ALGOL 60? BNF?

But don't despair! I just ran into this (<URL:
http://speakmoreclearly.com/>):
Do you want to speak English fluently and with an American accent?
-> Sick of being asked to repeat yourself?
-> Tired of people not understanding you?
-> Worried about losing your job or no one hiring you?
-> Trouble being understood on the phone?
-> Embarrassed or shy in social situations?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above questions, then I have
great news for you!
You CAN change your accent and start speaking English like an
American. In less than 15 minutes a day and from the comfort of your
own home.
You just need to know the RIGHT way to practise. Our Ultimate
American Accent Training Package gives you all the exercises and
methods you need for improving your English pronunciation.
