FAQ
How long will it take for me to improve my spoken
English?
There are many variables and it depends on the individual person's
level and abilities.
Students who commit time, focus and practice do
the best. It's been my experience that at least 4-6 months
of training are needed to get
lasting results.
Will I be able to speak like a
native North American English speaker?
Language studies have proven that it is possible for adults to improve
pronunciation. However, most adults
never lose their accents
completely. Most people would agree that an accent is
pleasant as long as it doesn't
interfere with communication. The goal
is clear speech.
Will I have homework?
Yes.
Daily practice of exercises is necessary to improve
speech. Exercises are chosen for you. They're
important
in developing new muscle memory and eventually, new
habits.
Will I have to do written
tests?
No.
You're evaluated on your speech. After you get the
results of the initial accent assessment, evaluation
is
on-going. Each lesson and recording is evaluated by your trainer.
What will I need to do the
training?
Use of Skype with a headset mic is recommended but a clear phone is acceptable. Ability to satisfactorily communicate
on the phone in English and a working knowledge of the Internet are also necessary.
