Pronunciation – Accent – Language
Our services can help you:
- make yourself more easily understood
- modify/’neutralise’ your current accent
- increase confidence when communicating with others
- learn the Australian English accent (if you want to)
- perform better in job interviews and the workplace
- improve your pronunciation of foreign languages
We offer personal one-on-one:
- accent modification training
- English elocution lessons
- English pronunciation classes to improve job-oriented vocabulary and speech (e.g. English for medical purposes)
- job interview preparation (express yourself more clearly, learn how to answer questions)
- foreign word pronunciation training (e.g. for restaurant menus, produce and wine)
- other communication skills classes
Most of our training is for individuals (it’s more effective), but under certain circumstances we can offer dynamic small-group training. We assist clients in Melbourne and sometimes elsewhere or online. Read more about our clients here.
Knowledge and expertise
» Ear & Speak is about communication – helping clients from a diversity of backgrounds improve their skills. My job is to help you towards your goals.
» I’m not just a communication specialist, but also an editor and translator. I understand what it’s like to communicate in another language because I can speak, understand or pronounce quite a few.
» After years of international research and teaching, I established Ear & Speak in 2002 in Melbourne (my home town), and have helped clients from many backgrounds and occupations.
