Bruce Lee's English (IELTS Band)

[Tdol]

He's good, and the grade is not based simply on pronunciation. He speaks very fluently and naturally with an accent. NorwichEnglish is right about him saying man too much, though. He's an 8 or 9- he can give an interview and be interesting, getting his point across well, with natural hesitations and moves. The interviewer treats him as a native speaker, making no concessions or efforts to assist him because he doesn't have to.
