About This Course

Finance & Accounting Professionals need to communicate in English on a daily basis, and if you work with the US or live and work in the US, it’s important that everyone understand you clearly. It can hurt your credibility, confidence, and ability to do your job if people either misunderstand you or misinterpret what you say. In order to be clear in American English, you’ll want to master the key components of the language.

Now that you have completed the first three courses in this series, the Vowels of American English, Comparative Contrasts in Usage with the Vowels of American English, and the Consonants of American English, you are ready to learn how to compare and contrast consonants more fully and discover your own patterns so you can create sustainable improvements in your speech.

This course focuses on discovering which of the 25 consonant sounds of American English are most challenging for you and creating meaningful ways to assess yourself and address the challenges. Depending on your first language, you may struggle with different consonants than someone else does, and you’ll need a reliable method to figure this out and create a way to practice on a regular basis so you can enact and sustain real change.

This course also uses finance & accounting vocabulary so that when you learn the concepts of English, you’ll also learn to say the words that come up for you every day at work.
