Best-Kept-Secret Career: Accent-Reduction Specialist

DC American Cultural Immersion, in DC has a 6 week program that really helped me improve any flaws I had with my accent. I swear, I sounded like my teacher. It is all about practice and the quality of the teaching. The way they taught me was so helpful, my teacher taught in a very different but fun and hands-on manner. It was like non of the teachers I had tested before. She was able to improve several words within the course of 15-20 minutes. Within a week I was much more confident in daily conversations, I landed a job at a company, that turned me down several times before. My teacher was focused on meeting goals and making sure there was progress. The best part about this program, was they allowed me to send voice recordings to my teacher as "homework" and she would correct them. So I knew I was studying the right way. I was in a 6 week program and it worked. They let you call other people that took the program and speak to them about it. If your in DC or don't mind learning by video you should go to them and sign up for one of their packages. It was well worth it.

The Accent Reduction lessons have sparked new interest in this country for the past decade or so. Actually, they have been around long before in countries like Great Britain, ie; Profeessor Higgins, Pygmalion. It is a rather tricky statement to propose to someone that they can lose their accent or eliminate their dialect. It is perhaps, more proper to say that you can improve your accent over time. There are no quick (30 day solutions), and anyone who says so, is simply not being upfront and honest about the complexity of this teaching.
