Speak Clearly -week Intensive
The 8-week Intensive just got better... now it's 10 weeks long!
- Are you worried about the way you speak?
- Do people have trouble understanding you?
- Do you feel that your pronunciation could be
holding you back from achieving more in your life?Join me for my most popular programme, the Speak Clearly 10-week Intensive. This course has been designed for people like you who are ready to make serious changes to the way they speak! Through over 20 hours of face-to-face instruction in a small group setting, plus free access to my private online learning lab filled with audio and video files, quizzes and other extra resources, there's no better way to learn how to change the way you speak.
It takes dedication and guidance to make improvements in your speech. This programme has been designed to give you maximum practice so you quickly become a more confident communicator in English. The course begins with a private, one-on-one pronunciation assessment with each participant. Based on these assessments, the 10-week programme is customised to cover only the most imporant problem areas that the group is facing.
Each week, you can expect a jam-packed, 2-hour session covering the proper pronunciation of a certain set of sounds, training in word stress and intonation, dialogue practice and other forms of group and pair work that will ensure you're speaking as much as possible. And since only perfect practice makes perfect, I'll be by your side to help you correct any errors, show you how to pronounce sounds correctly and give you encouragement along the way.
You will learn how to:
- Improve your general pronunciation so people focus on your message
- Properly pronounce the most common vowel and consonant sounds
- Use your voice correctly when making voiced and unvoiced sounds
- Articulate your word endings for more crispness and clarity
- Make your intonation work for you for maximum impact
- Recognize proper pronunciation and learn how to model it
- Project your voice effectively so people can hear your message
- Correctly apply general rules governing word stress
- Practice new sounds on your own for even faster progress
- Increase confidence in your communication and achieve greater success

"For decades I was pronouncing certain words wrongly. For example: words ending with 'sion'. Excellent program to correct the pronunciation. I liked the way the program was conducted. Great course!"
- KR Thandavan"I have learnt much about the fine details of the creation of different sounds. I enjoyed the training tremendously. Thank you, Ms Heather Hansen!"
- Lee Siak Cheong"The course is very helpful. Heather is able to point out the problem areas and help me identify ways to improve. I enjoyed the group lessons a lot."
-Rachel Mung"It [the Speak Clearly 8-week Intensive] was a very fun workshop with lots of learning. [Heather] was able to create a very lively learning environment. The programme made me realise that I have not been making full use of my tongue and lip muscles! I didn't realise that I was pronouncing words incorrectly all this while until Heather pointed it out to me. Things like pronouncing plural endings and past tense were alien to me. After attending the course I've become more conscious about the way that I speak!
