Welcome to Dr. Byrnes' Academic English, where we focus on improving English learners' formal language skills, essential for academic and professional success. Unlike colloquial English, which is informal and idiomatic, formal English emphasizes grammatical accuracy and precise vocabulary usage. Additionally, spoken formal English should adhere to the standard American accent in our context.
