Don’t let poor communication skills
slow down your professional development!

It is a sad but true fact… people who speak English with foreign accents often struggle more to succeed in America, even if their English is grammatically and structurally correct.

It is estimated that people with strong accents lose between 25 and 50% of their productivity due to communication problems.

Now you can learn the skills you need to improve your spoken English and stop feeling worried or embarrassed when you speak.

What is Accent Training, why is it important,
and what can it do for you?

People who learn a new language as teenagers or adults often transfer the sounds and patterns of their native language into the new one without recognizing it. Accent training helps them to hear, feel, and produce the sounds and patterns of the new language or dialect. It can mean the difference between being understood and being rejected.

English has become important all over the world. Lack of successful communication in English can prevent you from jobs, promotions, higher education, and even friendships.

Improving your pronunciation and accent gives you more confidence, eliminates misunderstandings, and helps you to communicate more effectively with customers, clients, co-workers, your child’s teacher, and even the grocery store clerk!

Who Should Take Accent Training?

Professionals, students, and others who speak English as a second language and need help in making themselves better understood. Participants may have an intermediate to advanced understanding of English.

This course is not for you if you have spoken English since birth or early childhood and have a native or near-native accent.

How the American Accent Workshop
can help you or someone you know.

The American Accent Workshop is one of the most comprehensive accent training courses out there.  While most “accent” programs focus on the pronunciation, or the individual sounds of English, we start there but then go much further.

After teaching you all of the sounds of English, we delve into the more musical aspect of English- the intonation, the rhythm, the timing, and the tone.

Learning all of the sounds of English is like learning the individual notes on a piano, learning the intonation, rhythm and timing is like learning how to create a beautiful composition.  You need both.

The America Accent Workshop is also unique in its presentation.  In an effort to make it easily available to anyone, anywhere, all materials are available online in a membership area.  After you finish the program, we give you lifetime access to the program so you can go back and review your course as often as you like.
