English Accent Improvement Classes in Washington DC:
Photo of English Pronunciation Classes in DC / VA areaAccent improvement sessions may be scheduled once or twice a week at a time and location that is convenient for you.

The location of each session is based on your preference (your workplace, home, library, coffee shop).

Accent Improvement Explained:
You may have a beautiful accent, but many people, both non-native English speakers and native English speakers from other regions of the country or world want to improve their speech because they find their accent makes it difficult for others to understand them clearly, affecting their job performance and daily interactions.

This speech process is different from learning English as a Second Language (ESL), but your English usage may be improved at the same time.

Class Topics include:
- Perception – hearing the difference between American English sounds, words, stress and intonation patterns and those of your speech

- Articulation – moving your lips, teeth, tongue and jaw to produce sounds

- Stress Pattern – emphasizing certain sounds and words in your speech

- Intonation – a certain rising and falling pattern of speech
