THE WOW EFFECT

Am I wrong or have you been trying to speak a language with no sounds

You have been studying English for years… Grammar, vocabulary, but what about PHONETICS?

If you’ve been wondering why you’re struggling to understand advanced or native speakers, why you’re having trouble on the phone or why you just couldn’t learn English, you’re about to find the answer. 

And it is very simple.

If I ask you what’s the most important aspect (or maybe the only purpose of speaking) a language, you’ll probably answer: COMMUNICATION.

But how can you communicate efficiently if you have never been taught the first element you need to communicate: SOUNDS.

So let’s start with what should have been your

WHAT TO EXPECT

great pronunciation changes everything.

Not only the way you speak but the way you listen.
And maybe more importantly, the way you are listened to.

And that’s THE WOW EFFECT
CLARITY
CONFIDENCE
CREDIBILITY

Sounds like excellent reasons to start learning phonetics, right?

I KNOW YOU have TONS OF QUESTIONS

What do you think is the most important: communication or correctness? If your number one priority is communication, then being understood is probably what should come first.

Your accent might be considered “just adorable” in some contexts. But do you believe your clients listening to you reporting figures are looking for sexy or clear?

Of course, it’s possible to be successful even with poor communication skills. But one thing is certain: if your accent doesn’t make you money, it probably cost you some.

Oh really… What methods of accent-reduction have you tried?

So let’s learn phonetics together and you’ll see…

Phonetics is about studying sounds. Sounds are the chromosomes of the language, the bits of communication. It is the root of all and of all your problems…

Phonetics is to language teachers what German is for French-speaking Swiss and English for French. Everybody’s familiar with it but nobody has ever really made it a priority. Same for students. Up until that first job interview…

Of course!

Results depends on your native language, how many other languages you speak, your age, your hearing capacities, if you’re a musician or a dancer etc… But yes everyone improves. You’ll even get a proof of it.

I know! I agree!

How WE DO IT

HYBRID LEARNING

Based on a hybrid method, it combines a face-to-face training class and a supervised study program.

Because learning new sounds is just like sport, it’s a question of memory: muscle-memory.

This combination assures regular practice and therefore progress.

REGULAR PRACTICE

To improve pronunciation, there is no other way than regular practice.

How do I make sure you keep up with practicing?

Life can be challenging at times. That’s why we put into place a weekly routine to ensure regular practice.

Because I know that what makes a difference …

INDIVIDUAL COACHING

Between sessions,
I am your personal coach.

I will monitor your progress thanks to the recordings of your practice sessions you will send me.

You’ll receive feedback to help you “find” the sound on your own and practice them the “right way”.

Progress is bond to age, hearing capacities, spoken languages and PRACTICE. The more often you practice, the best chance you have to see your accent improving quickly. Most clients get positive feedback about their accent after a couple of months.
What accent will I learn?

Your choice. But at first, the idea is for you to learn how to steer away from your native sounds and accentuation and produce sounds that are close enough to native ones to eliminate confusion and boost your expression skills.
