GRAD
SCHOOL

speak like the person you're becoming

You've finished Accent Reduction — the sounds are already in your head. Phase two isn't about learning something new, it's about what you already know starting to switch on by itself — in real conversation, not just in class.

[ 01 ]

Why phase two

goal

build the habit

Accent training is training, like going to the gym: stop showing up and your form slowly fades. Grad School isn't a new course — it's a membership that holds on to what you've already built.

not new sounds

You already know the sounds. Now the task is to make them switch on by themselves: without conscious control, in live conversation, when you're thinking about the conversation, not about sounds and mouth position.

How Grad School ends

your final speech 🎤

Everything from the five seminars leads to one thing — spontaneous speech. Not a memorized script, but a conversation where you're thinking about meaning, not sounds.
