Here’s what our participants have to say…  

Thank you, Lynda, for offering this course “Be Understood: Stressing Out Makes Good English Sense”. This web-based program can be a wonderful tool for a non-native speaker to better master  his/her language skills and be understood. Through this program, I became more knowledgeable and aware about where, what and how to stress a certain part in my conversation in order to communicate more effectively and be better understood.   I think the class is just right in effective learning in comparison with a face-to-face training program. The class content is well addressed and the slides are well organized and well designed.

“This class helped me understand the importance of stresses (syllable level, word level, and sentence level) in modifying accent. I learned a lot from this class in terms of using the right stresses when speaking.”  

 

“I found that an awareness of intonation has helped tremendously in my being able to communicate with more intelligibility. Also, if someone does not understand a word, I am better able now to appreciate why they are not able to understand it and it makes me more aware of the intonation I should use, because the person I am speaking to will then say the word the right way for verification.”                                               –Sandeep
