What is the most effective way to get rid of your accent?

There are four ways to work on accent reduction:
- Individually with our books and apps.
If you choose this way, we highly recommend that you have your speech analysis with a qualified speech tutor.
Some people can do it effectively, but most people procrastinate for years as they cannot see their “blind spots” aka their mistakes in positioning their speech organs and difficulty to change bad speech habits without a teacher.
2. Private lessons with a qualified speech tutor.
This is a popular way for those who do not like learning in a group; lessons are very intense and demanding.
3. A course in a mini group of 4 people taught by a speech tutor.
Social people benefit from this way the most as they can see the explanation of speech organs for 4 people and learn from their mistakes. During the course we cover lots of sounds in a short period of time ( 3 weeks) and in a fun way.
4. To mix individual lessons with group lessons.
Some people like mixing group lessons with individual lessons; this way they learn a lot in a group and then focus on the most difficult sounds in one to one sessions.
We start our next course on 14 May 2018. To book email [email protected]
