Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased.” This notion is true of anything worth doing in life, and for those who know they need to learn how to pronounce English better, practice does make perfect.
With the students we have had at PronunciationPro.com, those who have gotten the most out of the program have been those who have fully comitted and engaged themselves in the lessons, voice recordings, and use of the pronunciation videos. The most successful students of English pronuciation and fluency reach their goals of improving their fluency and reducing their accent in English when they use all of the tools made available to them by Annie Ruden M.S. CCC-SLP.
As Malcom Gladwell suggested in Outliers, there is no shortcut to mastery; “putting in the hours” is the only way to achieve complete success. While there are many pronunciation and accent reduction courses available on the Internet as well as in classrooms, none of them will work if students of accent reduction are not willing or able to spend the time necessary to achieve a postive end result of dramatically improving their spoken English.
While we look forward to helping anyone interested in the Pronunciation Pro online classes for accent reduction and English fluency, we urge everyone to be prepared to “put in the hours” and be ready to work hard to learn the various techniques and tools that will improve the practice of speaking English clearly.
