What is Accent Training, why is it important, and what can it do for you?

People who learn a new language as teenagers or adults often transfer the sounds and patterns of their native language into the new one without recognizing it.  Accent training helps them to hear, feel, and produce the sounds and patterns of the new language or dialect.  It can mean the difference between being understood and being rejected.

English has become important all over the world.  Lack of successful communication in English can prevent you from jobs, promotions, higher education, and even friendships.

Improving your pronunciation and accent gives you more confidence, eliminates misunderstandings, and helps you to communicate more effectively with customers, clients, co-workers, your child’s teacher, and even the grocery store clerk!
 

"I think this class is very organized and gives a great overview for non-native speakers.  It was great and very useful."

Olga Shkodnik

How can Sheri Summers help me
or someone I know?

Don’t let your foreign accent stand in the way.  Learn how to be better understood and gain back your confidence. 

Sheri Summers can work with you in one of three ways:

One-on-One Coaching done over the phone or internet, or in-person in Sacramento, California.

Intensive Boot Camps (only 3-6 participants) Held in downtown Sacramento or your place of business.

The American Accent Workshop is a online program for people who would like to improve their pronunciation and accent in a self-paced course.

An In-depth Pronunciation Evaluation is usually the start of both One-on-One Coaching and Small Group Classes, but it can also be given on its own to be able to see the strengths and weaknesses of your current American English accent.

"The attention and immediate response are very helpful."

Uyen Pham
 


Who Should Take Accent Training?

Professionals, students, and others who speak English as a second language and need help in making themselves better understood.  Participants may have a low-intermediate to advanced understanding of English.

This course is not for you if you have spoken English since birth or early childhood and have a native or near-native accent.

"I could realize a lot of mistakes I make and...
we could work on our specific mistakes."

Andreza Prado
Pre-school Teacher
