Pronunciation / Accent Reduction Coaching
IS YOUR ENGLISH LISTENER-FRIENDLY?
If you are often asked, "Can you repeat that?", then your English may not be listener-friendly.
And that means people have to work hard to understand you, which is frustrating both for you and for them. Plus, if you have a client-facing position -- such as salesperson, customer service manager, or consultant -- fine-tuning your pronunciation can help you create better rapport with your clients.
LOSE THE CONFUSION. NOT YOUR ACCENT!
Good news. You don't have to completely lose your accent to lose the confusion.
Well Said Coaching can help you change your speech patterns so your spoken English is easier to understand, even with an accent. Depending on your goals and your speech, we will work on improving the "music" of your English (such as intonation and stress), modifying specific sounds, or both. With knowledge and practice, you can make your English "listener-friendly".

Karen is able to hear my subtle mistakes in pronunciation and explain them to me. I highly recommend Karen to anyone who learnt English as a second language, has a good basic knowledge of English but wants to improve her/his speaking skills. -- Alexander S. |
