With this course you will receive a personalized diagnostic report describing what your TOP 3 ISSUES are when speaking American English. In addition, you will receive practice materials (both written and audio files) for each of these pronunciation issues so you can learn to correct these mistakes!
You will also find my E-book, “The Most Efficient Ways To Learn American English Pronunciation,” listed below. This E-book describes the latest findings from brain research on the best practice techniques when learning something new. You will have everything you need to make a huge change in your American English pronunciation!
With The Platinum Course you receive three (3), 45-minute internet video sessions, one-on-one, with Dr. Ojakangas. You may schedule these for whenever you would like, but it is recommended:
- you schedule one for early in your practice (2-3 weeks into your practice),
- the next session about one month or so later (at approximately 4-6 weeks into your practice),
- and the final session 8-12 weeks into your practice.
I am glad you are here and looking forward to getting to know you through your audio file!
