Description
Arnold Schwarzenegger* has one of the most recognizable voices in the world. When he speaks English, he speaks with the kind of authority and confidence anyone would envy. The thing is, he never tried to lose his accent because he saw it as a strength and form of power. When he took accent reduction classes, he did so with the intention to be understood clearly, listened to, and taken seriously. I think we can all agree: Everyone takes Arnold Schwarzenegger seriously! That is the goal of this class as well: To teach you to speak to be understood and seen as confident and capable. (If your desire is to completely eliminate the Korean accent when speaking English, great! This class will help with that tremendously as well.)
The Korean language is beautiful and utterly unique. That’s why, when it comes to learning American-English pronunciation, Korean learners need a class uniquely for them. This is a class specific for Korean learners with tools and techniques that have been created with their natural language speaking tendencies in mind. Created from the perspective of a Korean American educator, you will be introduced to eight general target areas for improvement based on patterns and behaviors I have observed in my own family and Korean network.
This is a high-impact and FUN course that teaches you how to reduce your accent successfully. Each and every one of these eight lessons show you how to make small changes to the way you speak that have maximum impact. They will not overwhelm you but will introduce you to new ways of improving your speaking habits.
What you’ll notice about the most successful non-native English speakers like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Arianna Huffington is that they speak with intention and clarity. My deepest desire is for Koreans to gain that kind of confidence by making pronunciation techniques easy to understand. So, learn, practice, converse, and develop those critical speaking habits that will make you wildly successful.
