Heavy accents, slurred speech or talking too fast can cause listeners to become prejudiced. It's not just your speech; it's the listeners’ ears.
So if you speak with an accent, you have to speak clearer and better. You have to articulate. You can learn techniques to correct your errors and change your speech habits, so people can become more interested in what you are saying instead of how you are saying it.
English classes are not enough! Speech and Accent Classes help you to SPEAK English better! You will get an assessment on your problems sounds, and learn techniques to change your speech. Also great for people with regional American accents!
