Japanese Edition

Accent Master programs provide both basic and advanced lessons for learning English pronunciation. Basic lessons focus on listening and speaking at the sound (or phoneme) level. In the basic lessons you will learn the 22 sounds that Japanese speakers need to learn to reduce their accents. You will view video and animated graphics that teach these sounds. You will then be able to play games and complete exercises which focus on these sounds in isolation (level 1), use the sound in words (level 2), and using the sound in sentences (level 3). These basic lessons will increase your intelligibility allowing you to be understood the first time you speak!

The advanced lessons focus on the three skills foreign speakers need in order to sound fluent. They are word stress, linking, and intonation. We present video instruction, audio examples, listening games & exercises, and recording exercises in each of these three areas.
