Common accent challenges: more free pronunciation fact sheets

Working on your accent? Helping a non-native English speaker to be better understood?

We’re pleased to introduce our free fact sheets about common accent issues and training targets, now UPDATED to include common issues for even more languages, including Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi and Vietnamese.

Each fact sheet is designed to help clients, ESL teachers, and speech pathologists chose what to work on first. While you’re here, check out our articles on some of the latest accent modification research to brush up on what matters most when it comes to being understood by native English speakers.

Enjoy!

P.S. We’ll add at least five more language fact sheets this year. If your language fact sheet isn’t up yet, just send us an email and we’ll add it to our ‘to do’ list.
