Course Description

The My Key Speech Issues: The Platinum Course is designed as an alternative to private accent coaching. It will give you a place to start as you begin modifying your accent to speak American English more clearly and with more American English pronunciation.

In this course you will receive:

• Dr. Ojakangas’s personal diagnosis of your TOP 3 PRONUNCIATION ISSUES in American English in a personalized written report, PLUS


• A Personalized Self-Study Program to improve those problems, including an E-workbook and audio files to practice with for each of the three top problems (recommended: 1 hour/day), PLUS


• A Bonus E-book on How To Learn Most Effectively (information from the latest Neuroscience research), PLUS


Three 45-minute video consults with Dr. Ojakangas (at times convenient to you). Dr. Ojakangas will discuss with you your practice, what you need to continue to focus on, answer your questions, give you advice.


**This course was designed to give an individual personalized materials to practice daily for one hour for at least a 3-month (90-day) period for maximum benefit**
