Although it is the middle of August and summer is still in the air, September is just around the corner and since that's when kids go back to school, a lot of adults feel it is a good time start learning something new as well.

Are you ready to start learning how to sound great when you speak English?  Are you ready to polish your accent so people start listening to what you say and not how you say it?

We have room for 3 new private students in our American Accent Coaching program.  If you feel that you are ready to smooth out your English, we are ready to teach you (one-on-one, via internet and webcam) everything about pronunciation and accent that no one ever even thought to teach you before.  AND... we will make sure that you see the results that you are looking for.

For more information about this limited program, please visit us at http://accentonspeaking.com/americanaccent/coaching.htm and let us know ASAP.

Here is how the word gotta came to be.

On Tuesday, August 11, 2009 we will begin a new online class for native Spanish speakers who would like to improve their pronunciation.

In this live online class we will go over all of the sounds of English that cause problems for speakers of Spanish.

The class will run for 6 weeks and will be held from 5:00-6:30 Pacific time/ 8:00-9:30 Eastern time on Tuesday nights.

If you would like to know more about the class please contact us as soon as possible at info@accentonspeaking.com.  If you are ready to get started you can sign up at English Pronunciation Trouble Spots for Spanish Speakers.

In this video, I explain how to pronounce the word chocolate.  Even though the word may be similar in your native language, there is a good chance that the pronunciation in English is pretty different.
