Accent: American
for the Chinese speaker
Course Description
Articulation, volume, and intonation can be especially difficult for the native Chinese speaker. With that in mind, I designed this course to help you master all the challenging aspects of the Standard American Accent. You will learn to speak with confidence & clarity so you can be heard and understood every time you speak!
Who This Course Is For
Are you often asked to repast yourself? Do you have a hard time being understood in your personal or professional life? Are your reading and writing skills far superior to the way you speak?
In my 20+ years as a Voice & Speech Coach, I’ve seen how difficult it can be for the native Chinese speaker to sound “American.” The important L and R sounds, speaking with volume, and speaking smoothly are all elements you’ll learn in this course.
With practice, you’ll be speaking American English more clearly and smoothly than ever.
