Description

NOTES:

  • Personalized Attention, Materials Included. Taught by Dr. Catherine Ojakangas (over 25 years experience).
  • To be enrolled in this course you must be sufficiently fluent in English.

In the class there will be ample time for active participation, correction, and improving auditory discrimination while listening to the other group members. Additionally, each class will be recorded and participants will have the ability to download each recording.

After this course ends you will have all the materials and knowledge you require to continue practicing on your own to improve your accent, as new speech habits require approximately 3-4 months to ‘cement’ as new habits.

Because of Dr. Ojakangas’ extensive knowledge of neuroscience and how the brain produces speech, you will receive the highest level of accent coaching available. If you have further question re: the course, please write to Dr. Ojakangas at dro@accent-american.com.

The strength of this course is the specificity…

The strength of this course is the specificity. Dr. O. diagnosed and ranked prominent issues that I have and tailored the self-practice course to address my most prominent flaws. Excellent!

FIVE STARS COURSE!

I worked with Dr.Catherine Ojakangas over a 16-week period. I felt that Dr. Ojakangas was very committed to helping me reach my goals to improve my English pronunciation. Her methodology is very effective. She helped me realize various pronunciation mistakes that I was completely unaware of. Most importantly, she taught me the correct pronunciation and gave me exercises to help with the learning process. I definitely recommend Dr. Ojakangas for those who want to reduce their accent and speak more confidently!

It was a correct choice to take this course!

” This was the first time in my life to learn native English so systematically.  After learning essences such as the IPA, word intonation and word linking, I realized that my speaking skills in English, as well as the listening skills, improved steadily.  I am quite sure that this course was my concrete step to becoming a proficient English speaker.  I think this course is extremely recommended to Japanese people who are struggling to master the English spoken language.”

Catherine tailored the course to meet my needs…

“I explained to Dr. Ojakangas that what I needed was not only to learn the pronunciation, but also how to present materials professionally and in an effective way. Catherine tailored the course to meet those needs, and I think that was very effective… I’d recommend it to anyone who has come to America from another country!”
