Testimonials

This is an excellent class for non-native speakers. I highly recommend it. The class does not make you lose your accent; it helps you communicate more fluently. All topics covered in class can be applied on a daily basis. The instructor is well prepared and organized, keeping the class interesting.

-Luis, Spanish (Corporate class)

My English has significantly improved after taking classes at the Seatte Learning Academy. The teacher is the greatest. She's very knowlegeable, kind, helpful, fun, organized, professional, and motivated. She's the best teacher ever. The classes were well worth my time and money. I would recommend these classes to anyone that needs to have his or her English improved. Now I talk with confidence and people understand me.

Graca, Brazil (SLA on-site class)

I've been living in the United States for about 15 years. I took English classes at some community colleges and they were very helpful. But, I have to say, I wish I would have had Mandy and her method a long time ago. She's amazing and her teaching improved a lot of my English. I'll continue using her texts and consulting the Seattle Learnging Academy website whenever I need it.

-Antonio, Brazil (SLA on-site class)

Before signing up for the Accent Reduction class, I read the introductory overview on the Seattle Learning Academy web site. Even though I was convinced on the teaching approach, I was unsure about the results as I registered only for a class of ten sessions. Well, after the sixth session, I'm able to fully understand CNN news without the need of using subtitles. My son is telling me that my accent is much improved since.

I must admit that I am pleasantly surprised with the result after this class. Kudos to Mandy and her passion and joy to teach you all the techniques to better improve your English!

Many thanks for such a great experience!

Mehmet, Turkey (Corporate class)

This course is really good for non-native speakers to learn the rhythm and pitch of the American English pronunciation.

Adang, Indonesia (Corporate class)

Seattle Learning Academy website (pronuncian.com) is a good website and provides a tol to learn and understand English.

Thakor, Gujrati and Hindi (Corporate class)

Pronunciation 2 is very beneficial and effective for improving communication with Native English speaking Americans for students whose native language is not English.

Jagdish, Hindi (Corporate class)

I started classes at Seattle Learning Academy as experiment and quickly realized the value of 1-to-1 professional tutoring when it comes to pronunciation. When your English speaking skills get to the certain level your friends and co-workers stop correcting and you stop progressing (while still having a pretty heavy accent). I used some pronunciation lessons on tapes before but it does not even compare to the instant feedback that you are getting when talking to the teacher. I enjoyed every class at SLA and it helped me a lot with different weird sounds that English language has.

-Alex, Russia (one-on-one on-site class)

It is difficult for adults to improve a second language even when surrounded by an English-speaking environment. One to one tutoring allows me to focus on the area I really want to improve, pronunciation and conversation. I noticed my coworkers understood me better after 3 months of lessons. You will see a brilliant teacher at SLA who is always helpful and happy for our progress.

-Nozomi, Japanese (one-on-one on-site class)

My classes at Seattle Learning Academy with Mandy have been a great experience. She has the ability of making her classes interesting, informative and fun. I have not had any formal English classes in a long time and these have been a great help towards improving my pronunciation. I can affirm that my objective has been more than satisfied.

-Susana, Spanish (one-on-one on-site class)

The comprehensive learning is a natural way to study. I have learned a lot and I will improve in the future, even though I am finished with the class I can continue to practice by myself... I think when school starts and I talk to my friends they are going to see how much my speaking improved.

-Phayong, Thai (one-on-one on-site class)

I wish I had found this program earlier. I really like the teaching style because I learned how my tongue and mouth and the sounds work together. I am getting a lot through the lessons.

-Seung yeon, Korean (one-on-one on-site class)

This is a very good class for those who learned English as a second language in their home country, but don't speak it at home. I wasn't aware that different words have different sounds until I took this class because that wasn't the way I learned English in school. Now I understand why native speakers always had problems understanding me. Overall, a very good class to start pronouncing words correctly.

Ashutosh, Punjabi (Corporate class)

If you have a hard time pronouncing English words or if your co-workers ask you to repeat yourself because they did not understand what you said, take a pronunciation class with Seattle Learning Academy, and do the practice online.

Nader, Farsi (Corporate class)

Taking this class was a great experience. There were a few words that I was pronouncing right in my mind, but actually I was way off from the real pronunciation. This class helped me with most of the words I had problems with. Mandy also taught the tongue placement; that helped a lot. We all got a lot of individual attention, too.
