FAQs About Online English
Pronunciation Training at Speechaus

Check below for the frequently asked questions. If you’re feeling confused, don’t worry! You can reach us via the contact page if you’ve got questions.

1. Who will assist me in my Online Accent Reduction & English Pronunciation training?

All sessions will be delivered by our certified-practising speech pathologists with extensive experience in pronunciation training for adults.

2. If I reduce my accent will it affect my first language?

No, sounds of your first language will remain distinct from any new language that you study.

3. Do I need a referral from my General Practitioner to receive English Pronunciation training?

No referral is required to start any of our English pronunciation training programs.

4. I really want to use Speechaus for my English pronunciation training but I don’t live in Australia. What can I do?

This program is exactly for you if you are wanting to access premier pronunciation correction with experts. We don’t want you to feel held back by your location or geography.

We know that it can be hard to find real specialists everywhere. This program has been developed so you can access the world’s best training for English pronunciation right where you are. From centre to coast, our team can assist you.

Our speech pathologists work with clients all over the globe to fine-tune their speech. We’ll tailor your sessions to meet your clarity needs. Read more about how online training works here.

5. Is it possible for my company or employer to cover payment for my English Pronunciation training?

Many employers assist in the payment of English pronunciation training at Speechaus in order to develop their staff to better meet Key Performance Indicators, particularly in the areas of communication. We are able to provide information to your employer or recruiter about what types of accent and communication training we can implement to assist you in your career.

6. I’m worried about how to incorporate daily speech practice so that I can achieve my communication goals. How will I know how to practise?

One of our core goals in working with you is to give you tools to improve your pronunciation practice approach. Everyone comes from a different scholastic background. For most adults, the idea of daily practice can be very foreign. It can take some time to develop motivation and routine with practice. This is something that we encourage you to discuss openly and frankly with your speech pathologist so we can assist you to incorporate speech and communication practice into your daily routine.

7. How many sessions will I need?

The English Pronunciation Assessment will investigate and rate your current pronunciation against your future target. This assessment protocol will identify your production of all the sounds required for the accent of English that you wish to master. The speech pathologist will record and analyse the accent features phonetically and determine the degree of difference between your current speech patterns and your overall goal. This information is then used to forecast the number of sessions required to address your communication needs. Your current accent will be rated as Mild, Moderate or Pronounced against your overall accent target.
We usually recommend 15 sessions if you want an extensive insight into speaking skills for English, 10 sessions if you want a solid insight and 5 sessions if you want to add in some basics.

8. Do I need to practise with audio samples? Does listening to the target accent and pronunciation help me create it?

In the early stages of training at Speechaus it is critical that a scientific method is applied to advance your learning. Listening to target sounds will not assist you in acquiring your target sounds so we do not allocate any audio material at the start of training. Home practice between your sessions will be designed with the core goal of you actively and carefully producing your target sounds. You will be instructed in the process of how to create your sound and monitor its accuracy as you produce it. Research shows that when a new sound is stabilised it is not beneficial for the participant to listen as it is easy to encounter a perception error. You will be more successful if you are shown how to produce a sound with the correct mechanics and actually sit and produce it rather than listen to it!

9. If I sign up for an online English pronunciation training program at Speechaus, how long will it take for me to notice changes and progress in my speech clarity?

Adjusting speech behaviours and patterns of speaking is a process. How long it takes for you to notice change in your accent or general communication depends on a few factors:

1) The degree of distance your current accent is from your final accent target (Standard Australian Accent, Neutral International Accent, General American Accent, Standard British accent).

2) Whether you create clear sounds in your first language. Some clients may present with a speech disorder or distortions in their first language. For these clients it can take more time for sounds to stabilise for their alternate languages.

3) Practise. One of the key predictors of speech change is how effectively and frequently you practise your accent and communication goals. At Speechaus, we will support you in developing a clear understanding of how to practise. This is one of our key interests for any client who commences training at Speechaus, especially since research evidence supports the impact of regular, drill based practice on speech change outcomes. We will create individual practice goals with you that are strategic.

10. How do online sessions work?

We have worked successfully online with many clients since we started business in 2013. If you are wondering how online sessions work, you should definitely read this article we have written just for you!

11. Are practice resources included?

At Speechaus we are committed to equipping our clients with incredible resources to take their goals forward. All pronunciation program clients receive access to the practice platform where you will find a massive amount of tools and tips to guide your daily practice.

  • Silver program clients get 10 weeks bonus access to the suite.
  • Gold program clients get 20 weeks bonus access to the suite.
  • Platinum program clients get 6 months bonus access to the suite.

Once your access expires you can easily move onto our monthly subscription program for $39 per month to stay connected to the suite.

12. Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we do! All programs have the option for payment plans.

13. When are English Pronunciation Training sessions available at Speechaus?

We provide training during business hours from Tuesdays to Fridays between 9am – 5pm AEST. The last session for each day is a 4pm session.

14. Do you have a refund policy?

Speechaus sessions are conducted with impeccable care for your communication by our team of certified-practicing speech pathologists. Given the time and preparation that goes into planning your session, we do not give refunds on any services.

15. Can I claim English pronunciation sessions with my Private Health Fund or Medicare?

Medicare Rebates and private health fund rebates are not available for these sessions since English pronunciation training is not a clinical/ medical service. Most Private Health funds stipulate that they do not cover accent reduction, elocution or English pronunciation training. Speech Pathology is covered by Private Health funds and Medicare in some cases for diagnosable medical disorders and communication disorders such as stuttering, voice disorders and neurological impairments. Technically, an accent is not a communication disorder. For this reason, our accounts team will under no circumstances issue item numbers for private health cover or Medicare rebates for these sessions.

16. Can much do the programs cost once I’ve completed my audit?

You can see our 3 Pronunciation Clarity programs and their prices at this page.

 

Is English Pronunciation Confusing?

Sadly the beauty of English pronunciation is that it can feel like one big phonetic mystery…

And it is, it really is. This is the true nature of the English language- phonetic mystery.

There simply is not one hard and fast set of spelling rules to count on to decipher how to say all the things.

Progressing your Pronunciation & Communication Skill is a long term goal

By now you must realise that mastering a language takes work. The same goes for improving your English speaking. It’s hard work. It’s also a new type of learning, motor learning. Motor learning relies on coordinating new speech movements. Regular, ongoing drill is necessary to make your muscle memory tight for recall when speaking daily and make the new speaking habits stick.

We are the last ones who will tell you there is a quick fix, magic trick to sharpening your communication.

You’ve got to make daily drill and practice a ritual, like brushing your teeth.

We are here to show you how.

Our team will lead you by the hand and outline the core basics and beyond of English pronunciation.

We are trained in anatomy & physiology for speaking and voice, neurology, behavioural therapy theories & read loads of research into how adults learn sounds in their second language. We’ve got this… But you will have to work hard and use a strong growth mindset.

We know… it would be a beautiful thing if 1 consult with a speech pathologist made it all better but, we are trained as communication scientists and the last thing we want to do is make up fairy tales for adults!

When you attend sessions at Speechaus, you are learning new skills to put into practice to progress your speaking.

Our team uses evidence based Speech Pathology methods to give you the lowdown on how your speaking can change for the better.

We can’t wait to work with you further.

Our Speech pathologists are fully skilled in transcription of the International Phonetic Alphabet as well as the muscle movements of the speech apparatus. We know the nerves and muscles of speech intricately!

We will teach you to use phonetics & other technical applications to power up your English speaking.

We Love Pronunciation! We have been advocating for Communication Impact since 2013

English pronunciation advocacy and training has been the heart and soul of our business since 2013. Accent modification is our passion as we fight by your side to show you how to practise and improve your English pronunciation.
