This course is ideal for the student who wants to be more easily understood in everyday conversation and workplace situations. The instructor will identify the students' particular pronunciation difficulties and provide extensive exercises that target each student's needs. Participants will learn to pronounce words in a manner that is easier for native speakers to understand. By the end of the course, students will have gained an awareness of their problem sounds, learned how to pronounce those sounds accurately and clearly, and learned how to continue refining their speech while strengthening overall confidence in speaking.
