Accent Reduction Training

Do you speak good English but people still frequently misunderstand you or ask you to repeat yourself? Does your strong accent mean you get overlooked for promotion at work? Accent Reduction Training will help you!

Accent Reduction – What does it involve?

Accent Reduction Training is where we train you to understand the differences between your mother tongue and a natural British accent. We will teach you techniques to adopt a natural British accent and to improve your pronunciation. Your course includes modifying the way you pronounce vowel and consonant sounds and intonation.

Designing your tailored programme

Depending on where you are originally from, you will have unique pronunciation challenges because of the structure of your own language. We take this into account when determining the key areas for you to work on. We will design a tailored programme of focused lessons to meet all your objectives. Your tutor will work with you on a weekly basis (or more often if you prefer) to help you soften your accent, which will help you to communicate more effectively with English speakers.

Pronunciation Training

This is similar to Accent Reduction Training. We will teach you techniques to improve your pronunciation, to sound more like a native speaker. Pronunciation Training is included as part of your overall Language Training Programme.

Claire is absolutely amazing and supportive. Learned so much with her and thankfully she is a very patient, thoughtful person and very clear explaining how/what/when. I thought I was able to speak proper English but of course the correct British pronunciation has so many nuances that I wasn’t aware of.
