As you know, my name is Ellen and I work with non-native English speakers. You can read about my general background on my About page, but I wanted to start this blog in order to share more with you.
I will try to write about things you will hopefully find useful, such as how to’s, useful resources in learning to obtain a more Standard American English accent (such as recommend books and websites), strategies to help you communicate more independently, student success stories, evidence-based research done about accents, frequent questions (FAQs) students ask and learning to live in the Washington, D.C. area in general. I may even share a bit about myself as an Accent Improvement specialist and a person.

Ultimately, I want to help you learn more about accent improvement (accent modification) and the resources available to help you succeed, not only in communication but in other aspects of your life as well. Above all, my goal in writing this blog is to provide a place where you can be as engaged as you want and maybe even find others with similar experiences to you who you can meet up with and practice your new English speaking skills.
As you read, I encourage you to provide feedback - whether it’s to suggest new content you would like to learn about, resources you have found to be helpful, your success stories (or your frustrations) in learning to speak English better or acclimating to the United States, or just to comment about things you read about on this blog, I am open to your comments.
