Greetings from the Director . . .

Acquiring a second language as an adult is difficult. Mastering English speech patterns presents a huge challenge, but we understand it is critical to be clearly understood. We meet people every day, some with almost no accent at all and some with heavy accents, who want to speak English more clearly and be more successful professionally and personally.

This offers ways to make this learning easier and more effective. Our software programs gives users audio and visual information about pronunciation along with immediate feedback so they can change their spoken English more quickly and easily. Technology will continue to expand our horizons.

American Speechsounds creates innovative materials and techniques to help accented speakers master American English.  We are committed to using technology effectively along with proven instructional methods to develop the best programs available.
