I highly recommend Dr. Ojakangas (Catherine)to anyone looking to improve their pronunciation, no matter their background. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about everything involved in pronunciation and how to address issues, but she is also adaptable and organized, making her lessons feel perfectly tailored to my needs. As a native French speaker, I’ve found that it’s especially hard to lose the French accent as an adult. But thanks to Catherine’s expertise, I finally have hope that I can overcome it.
What truly stands out about Catherine is her deep understanding of the intricacies behind pronunciation issues. I’ve tried many online tutorials before, but none compare to the in-depth approach she offers. Catherine knows exactly how to break down complex concepts and offer solutions that fit my personal needs.
Her training routines have made a real difference in my pronunciation, and I’ve already seen progress. The recordings she provides are particularly helpful, allowing me to track my improvement and hear the subtle changes in my speech. I’ve even caught myself speaking with an American accent, and those moments are what keep me motivated to continue.
Catherine also makes learning enjoyable. She’s easy to talk to, and her supportive nature makes every session engaging. Thanks to her, I no longer feel ashamed of my accent. While there’s still work to do, I’m confident that with her help, I’ll reach my goal. I couldn’t thank her enough for the encouragement and the tools she’s given me to succeed.
