English is the common language of international Aviation. But understanding different accents can be difficult, especially if you are not familiar with a specific accent. For example, a French pilot speaking English sounds very different to a Chinese pilot speaking English. A US controller from New York may sound very different to a UK controller from Scotland. The good news is that we become better at understanding an accent the more we listen to it. This site includes examples of a variety of non-native and native English speakers and trains you to understand a range of accents.
