Introduction
Speaking English is often one of the most overlooked aspects in traditional English courses. Many teachers offer in-depth grammar, writing, reading and vocabulary building, but struggle to incorporate the culminating aspect of speaking English. This course was designed for upper intermediate/advanced English learners to learn the segmental and suprasegmental aspects of the English language. Segmental aspects refer to the consonants and vowels.

If your English pronunciation were as stellar as your education and your credentials, then you would be at the top your field. However, whenever you sit in an important meeting, youāre hesitant to speak freely because youāre concerned about how youāll be perceived.
You have so much more to offer the world. Your skills are endless, but youāre stuck figuring out how to fully express who you are in English.
The real question isnāt, How much will this cost me? The question IS, how much could I be making if I spoke better English? What would that manager job pay me if I hadnāt been overlooked for that job due to my English?
Time is your enemy! But English doesnāt have to be. Get off of the barely-getting-by train and fast track your confidence by finally investing in YOURSELF!
