We believe confident and assertive speech gives individuals an edge in most situations, for example when trying to make a point amongst friends, impress that special person, or when being faced with an audience, members of the board, or when pitching a new business plan to a skeptical bank consultant. With Accent Softening we can help you with achieving clearer diction, proper pronunciation and intonation. We also help foreigners with reducing their accent and to speak more the Queen's English. Suitable for: 18 years and above seeking to improve their pronunciation skills and diction

Course programme

We offer a six week Accent Softening group course for all non-native English speakers, who have difficulties in being understood because of their foreign accent.

Our next course starts on 3rd July 2010, takes place every Saturday morning from 12.00am to 13.30pm (for 90 minutes) and is held at West Norwood Library - London, which is just a 15-20 minute train journey away from London Victoria or London Bridge station.

Students attending our intensive course will learn the five components of accurate English pronunciation: vowels, consonants, rhythm, stress, and intonation. Our course is aimed at achieving a more fluent and confident and effective way of communicating. Attendees will also receive individual feedback and opportunities for guided practice.

The cost for this six week course is £180 and we only accept up to six individuals on the course.
