Is ERnie an attORney?
Our new Accent Reduction Games are a great way for individuals to practice learning the most difficult parts of speech. Our new game focuses on American English vowel sounds — notoriously challenging — and is a great way for non-native English speakers to learn the accepted way to pronounce these sounds.
Our games are available as iPhone apps or for Windows PCs.
How Can We Help You?
English Talk Shop creates innovative materials and techniques to help people with an accent master spoken American English. We are committed to using technology effectively along with proven instructional methods to develop the best programs available.
We pay special attention to the audio components in our materials and use professional voice actors with mainstream pronunciation for clarity.
The Importance of Monitoring
Naturally you want the most comprehensive software. That’s understandable. American Speechsounds has more content for you to practice than any other program available. And, with Authoring, you can add more — it’s unlimited. So, how do you know when you speak that your pronunciation is good? Friends or teachers may tell you, but until YOU know what is “good”, you cannot make the kinds of positive changes that are needed to improve your speech. In other words, external feedback is not the answer. You need to learn to “monitor” — to hear and recognize the desired pronunciation. All American Speechsounds software gives you scores for this important listening skill and the ability to improve your listening. Then you practice our substantial content and know how to listen to yourself (self-monitor) and you can begin to change your pronunciation. We prepare you to be able to walk away from the computer and know “I’m sounding good!”
