“Many of my students once believed they could never sound like this. School taught them grammar and vocabulary, but not how to train their English speech. That is what we do together, step by step, until you speak English independently and with confidence.”

Abishek’s result was achieved through Prof. Alex’s research-based Interactive 1-on-1 American Accent Training. His doctoral research found this interactive method more effective than traditional, teacher-centered methods. See the research basis →

Section 01

Quick answer

Both programs help non-native speakers improve American pronunciation. Accurate English is a strong choice if you want self-paced video courses, a membership community, or corporate workshops in Los Angeles. MyAccentWay is built for professionals who want individualized 1-on-1 training with the same coach throughout, using an interactive, student-centered method.

Section 02

Who leads each program

Accurate English. Founder Lisa Mojsin, M.A., holds a master’s degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, has over 25 years of experience, and is the author of Mastering the American Accent (Barron’s) (Accurate English). Lisa conducts the initial evaluation and first session; following sessions are led by Accurate English instructors with M.A. or Ph.D. degrees who are trained in the Accurate English method (Accurate English).

MyAccentWay. Prof. Alex, Ph.D. Accent Coach, Doctor of Education, and professional linguist, is the creator of Interactive American Accent Training, Cognitive Accent Training, and 2D Sound Motion Technology. In 1-on-1 training, Prof. Alex listens to each student’s real speech, identifies the exact patterns that affect clarity, and guides the correction himself.

American English Pronunciation: Consonant and Vowel Sounds with 2D Sound Motion Technology

Learning American English pronunciation and the American accent is more effective when you train your speech organs, not only listen and repeat. 2D Sound Motion Technology and Interactive Visual 2D Sound Simulators, developed in 2020 by Prof. Alex, Ph.D. Accent Coach, Doctor of Education, and professional linguist, as part of his interactive teaching model based on his Ph.D. research in interactive teaching methods, train your tongue, lips, jaw, teeth, airflow, and voice step by step. They train each American sound and more than 30 sound combinations through Interactive 2D video simulation.

What 2D Sound Motion Technology is

2D Sound Motion Technology is an advanced accent reduction and articulation training tool by Prof. Alex. It corrects, develops, and trains each American sound and more than 30 sound combinations through Interactive 2D video simulation.

What Interactive Visual 2D Sound Simulators do

Interactive Visual 2D Sound Simulators are part of 2D Sound Motion Technology, the articulation-training method Prof. Alex created by applying his Ph.D. research in interactive teaching to American pronunciation. Instead of listening and repeating, students actively train their speech organs. Each simulator uses Interactive 2D mouth movement to train the speech organs (tongue, lips, jaw, teeth, airflow, and voice) to produce each American sound correctly. Every consonant has its own simulator: explore American consonants trained with 2D Sound Motion Technology.

Sample training: the American t sound (aspirated [t])

Practice

Record yourself speaking these words:

Tab · Tacos · Time · Tub · Hotel · Motel · Sit · Pit · Net

Instructions

Play the Interactive Visual 2D Sound Simulator for the American t sound below several times and follow it step by step. Move your tongue, jaw, and airflow together with the simulator and train your articulation.

Interactive Visual 2D Sound Simulator: American unvoiced sound [t]

Practice

Record yourself again speaking these words, but this time focus on the movement of your tongue. Go slow, and you will hear the difference. You’ve got this!

Tab · Tacos · Time · Tub · Hotel · Motel · Sit · Pit · Net

How Interactive Visual 2D Sound Simulators solve pronunciation and speaking problems

  1. Wrong articulationMost pronunciation problems start with the tongue, lips, jaw, or teeth in the wrong position. Each Interactive Visual 2D Sound Simulator trains the correct articulation of one American sound, so the student corrects the cause of the problem, not only the result.
  2. Airflow and voicingMany accent problems come from wrong airflow or voicing: sounds that are too weak, too strong, or voiced when they should be unvoiced. The simulators train airflow and voice together with articulation, step by step, for each American sound and more than 30 sound combinations.
  3. Clear speech and confidenceWhen each sound is trained correctly, words connect into clear American English speech. Listeners can understand you more easily, and speaking at work, in meetings, and on calls becomes more confident.
Prof. Alex, Ph.D. Accent Coach

If you start hearing the aspiration, the short airstream after [t], with one simulator, you can only imagine how successful you can be in 1-on-1 Interactive American Accent Training with Prof. Alex, Ph.D. Accent Coach, where your whole American sound system is trained sound by sound.

In MyAccentWay, the Interactive Visual 2D Sound Simulators are only available in 1-on-1 accent coaching sessions with Prof. Alex.

Section 03

Training approach

Accurate English covers word stress, rhythm, intonation, difficult vowels and consonants, linking, workplace vocabulary, and grammar when needed, using video lessons, audio files, PDFs, practice sentences, and quizzes (Accurate English).

MyAccentWay uses Interactive Accent Training. Interactive Accent Training is Prof. Alex’s effective student-centered American accent training method where students actively participate in the accent reduction, accent modification, and accent training process instead of passively receiving pronunciation information. It works together with two more methods:

  • Cognitive Accent Training helps students understand how their native-language habits influence American English, so they can control and keep their new speech patterns in real communication.
  • Interactive Visual 2D Sound Simulators are part of 2D Sound Motion Technology, the articulation-training method Prof. Alex created by applying his Ph.D. research in interactive teaching to American pronunciation. Instead of listening and repeating, students actively train their speech organs. With Interactive 2D mouth movement, students train each American sound and more than 30 sound combinations through Interactive 2D video simulation. Only available in 1 on 1 accent coaching session with Prof. Alex.

The goal is independent speaking on any topic, not only on practiced words and sentences.
