Who should attend? Non-native speakers of American English who would like to practice their speaking skills in a supportive environment and get specific feedback to create change from an American Accent Specialist. NOTE: This is not an alternative to American Accent Coaching, and you will not receive systematic correction on your accent. This is a supportive speech group to help you practice in front of an audience and gain confidence in a group session! Pre-register by email so we have an idea of how many attendees to expect. Send email to Info@englishbythehour.com. I'd like to attend! |

| Speaking too fast Many non-native speakers are accused of speaking too fast. This is a valid criticism from the perspective of the listener, but the solution is often not to simply try to slow down, which can result in awkward sounding speak at a pace that is difficult to maintain. Instead, this You Tube video share insights into how to achieve the same qualities using tips and techniques gleaned from the practice of American Accent Acquisition. |
