Speak Easy: Accent modification for clear communication

Being misunderstood is frustrating.

Every day, many fluent English speakers experience this frustration due to their accents in spoken English. Whether you come from Boston or Bangalore, if others cannot understand you it does not matter how correct your English is.

Speak Easy Accent Modification trains English speakers to change the way they communicate so that clients, colleagues, strangers and even friends can better understand them. Listen to some Before & After samples to hear how clients change their speech.

Speak Easy clients follow a completely individualized course of study, working with an instructor once per week and practicing at home every day. By the end of the training, clients experience at least a 50% improvement in their ability to be understood.

Many employers support this training, and we can work at your workplace or in the Speak Easy office in downtown Springfield, MA. Speak Easy is the only accent training business in the state of Massachusetts to qualify for the MA Department of Labor's Express Grant program. This program gives qualified Massachusetts employers 50% of the cost of training.
