Koda A. says, "Prof. Alex is a true professional and an absolute game-changer. He is genuinely changing people’s lives—and he changed mine. Because of Prof. Alex, I was able to improve my accent, my speech, and ultimately land a great job. People no longer ask me about my accent—I sound American now. That alone is life-changing. I committed to the American Accent Program for about 9 months, and during that time I learned (and relearned) how to pronounce every individual sound in American English. Let me tell you—sounding American takes real work, but this program shows you exactly how to do it the right way. We worked on each American sound using structured training patterns, starting with pronunciation exercises and progressing to paragraph-level practice. Everything is designed using speech-pathology-based methods, which makes it incredibly effective. This isn’t guessing or memorizing—it’s real, professional training. After you master the sounds and intonation patterns, your speech improves dramatically. You don’t just sound better—you speak with confidence and fluency. I am deeply grateful to Prof. Alex for supporting and guiding me through a very challenging time in my life. He is not only an outstanding professor, but also an amazing person. He was supportive, motivating, and encouraging in every single session. Hands down, the best accent coach in the U.S. 🇺🇸🔥"See more

Angel P. says, "Working with Ananya Pathshala has honestly been such a meaningful experience. From the very beginning, Tripti made sure to make the classes feel more like a language program and it felt like a class where I was genuinely learning new things about the culture and building more confidence in my Hindi skills. As a beginner, I was hesitant to step into this challenge but Tripti made my anxiety feel seen and supported me along my journey. With the well-organized lessons from beginning sounds/letters to conversational lingo, I felt myself growing in my Hindi speaking and writing skills. I genuinely recommend Ananya Hindi Pathshala!!"See more
