  • Huh, she teaches accent reduction but she has an accent herself!

  • Everyone has an accent! Some are canadian, southern east coast or standard American!

  • This video is helpful, but the final comparison about car driving is a bit fallacious : there is no simple rule to know how to put the correct word stress on a word in english. You have to look in a dictionary or to be in immersion with native speakers.

  • Thanks for your comment. There actually is a way to predict word stress. It is based on the word ending. It is a bit much to go into here...but take my class and find out for yourself!

  • Louieionoz,

    I'm sorry British and Australian accents are not what I have studied.

  • Thanks for pointing out that "accent reduction" is probably not the right name for this type of class. I was always suspicious of the claim that a class of any length could help a non-native speaker, past the critical period of course, "lose" their accent. I enjoyed watching your video. Thanks

  • good information thank you. i have a very slight accent. I think it is with your "R"s. I like ur teaching style. u have a beautiful office.

  • Very informative video!  Thank you so much. I am looking forward to trying your pronunciation software.

  • This is really helpful! I never noticed this pattern before.

  • Thank you so much Lynn

    If I knew this 10 years ago when I came here (US)
