Looking for ways to improve your speech?

Here are some ideas to use on your own or in conjunction with one of my accent reduction programs:

1. Sylvia runs a drop-in group for Accent Management through Meetup. www.meetup.com/Toronto-Accent-Management-Group.
2. Check your pronunciations of key vocabulary words with the recordings at www.Merriam-Webster.com.
3. Find a Toastmaster’s group in your area to develop your professional speaking skills. Ideal after you’ve completed a course. Let your group know what to listen for! www.toastmasters.org.
4. CBC Radio 1 – 99.1fm. Listen here for great talk radio. While many of the hosts are native English speakers, some are not – but they speak very clearly. Listen live or to podcasts: www.cbc.ca.
5. Voice of America: http://learningenglish.voanews.com. This is an excellent site for practicing your communication skills in conjunction with the materials and goals provided by Sylvia.
6. English Accent Coach: The interactive online game that improves your English pronunciation. www.englishaccentcoach.com.
