Before you learn a language
Will an app make me fluent?
Regular practice helps, but listening and speaking with real people in varied situations still matter.
Does ELSA teach every language?
Its focus is English pronunciation; check language support before choosing a practice tool.
Should I aim to lose my accent?
Focus on being understood and understanding others rather than erasing your identity.
