Frequently Asked Questions
for accent/communication training
What is accent training?
You’ll provide your background of familiar and heritage languages, plus list your goal language you want to be a confident communicator in. Most of the time, the goal language is a version of American English (although there is no “perfect” accent and there are many dialects within English in the United States!) We’ll compare features of your goal language to your current speech patterns and develop and individualized plan for acquiring those new patterns.
How does accent training work?
Ideally we will meet one time per week on Zoom and focus on one specific sound or pattern at a time. You will be given practical speech exercises to work on throughout the week. Please bring any scripts, work vocabulary, or phrases for hobbies you would like to work on!

How do I get started with accent training?
We’ll start with an complimentary (free!) informal conversation where you can share your goals, background, and ask me questions about your hopes for accent training. Then if everything matches up, we’ll get started with training on our second session together! You can contact me here or view my booking page.
