How Our Program Works

Our program begins with a personalized phonetic analysis of your speech. This individualized assessment helps identify the speech patterns that make your speech sound heavily accented. From the initial individualized assessment we develop a customized training program to suit your professional speaking needs. You will learn to hear the difference in your accented speech and the more intelligible sounds of Standard American English. You will learn to produce correct sounds in isolation, in words, in sentences and during conversational speech.

The program will be customized for you to practice words and phrases that are relevant to your needs and profession. You will learn to speak English with the appropriate rhythm and intonation. You will be provided with immediate feedback and correction so that you can gain confidence and consistency producing your new sounds immediately.

Structured conversational speech will be incorporated into the sessions, so that you will learn to self correct and assimilate the newly acquired speech skills into your every day conversation. Additional focus will address grammar and use of idioms. A specific list of drills is assigned for daily practice each week.

At the conclusion of the training program you will receive a before-and-after recording of your own speech, revealing a percentage of improvement.
