Celine F. says, "As a French speaker with a previously heavy accent, I was initially skeptical about the effectiveness of accent reduction programs. However, my experience with Prof. Alex’s American Accent Training has been nothing short of transformative. The 2D Sound Motion Technology used in the program is a GAME-CHANGER; it allowed me to see the precise positioning of my speech organs and understand how to pronounce the American sounds correctly. The methodology is simple: you follow sound by sound approach like in the translators and interpreters' courses which is HIGH LEVEL OF EDUCATION and the MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO SUCCEED! For example, the French “r” sound is quite guttural, while the American “r” is more fluid and frontal. Prof. Alex’s technology made this distinction crystal clear, and I could practice until my muscle memory adapted. The “th” sound, which doesn’t exist in French, was another hurdle. With the visual aid of the 2D Sound Motion, I could repeatedly observe and correct my tongue’s placement until it felt natural and fluent. I love how I sound now and I feel that these sounds are all the way "belong" to me. It feels very natural like in my native language! Prof. Alex’s expertise and the innovative technology he employs have significantly diminished my accent, making my English sound more authentic and comprehensible. It is very close to American Accent. People start asking me what state i came from! His methodical approach, coupled with the cutting-edge technology, provided a structured path to accent mastery. I highly recommend this program to anyone serious about accent reduction; it requires dedication, but the results are well worth the effort. Alex, you are the best American Accent Coach I have ever worked with! Thanks a lot for being for me!"See more
