Deepen your understanding of English
English can be difficult to carry in fast conversations. Some sounds are unfamiliar; some habits are deeply learned. Under pressure, speech can tighten or rush. This is common, and it is not a failure of effort. We work with people whose voices carry responsibility, so their words land clearly without losing identity.
If you feel hesitant to use certain words in English due to fear of mispronunciation, this can hinder your confidence in communication. At PronounceMe, we understand the challenges of learning English as a second language and the impact it can have on one's professional life.
Our training takes into account research from the University of Kansas, which shows that our sense of rhythm in our mother tongue is formed in the womb. More traditional English pronunciation training methods do not take into account how strongly the learner's native language habits are ingrained in their speech.
We focus on helping you master the technical language of your field, so you can deliver presentations and speak under pressure with clarity, control and precision.
Our programmes are tailored to meet your individual needs—whether you're leading meetings, presenting data, or managing complex client interactions.
What this looks like in practice
We work with professionals at CEFR B1–C2. Training focuses on the sound and shape of spoken English in real work: timing, phrasing, stress, articulation and breath; how sentences carry meaning; and how to keep clarity when the pace is high. We rehearse real meetings and leave you with short practice that fits a busy week.We combine theatre techniques, speech science and phonetics research to make learning not only effective, but engaging.
We use humour, visual tools, and real-world content to help you retain what you learn—and avoid repeating old mistakes.
Why our method is different
Trust & Confidentiality
Confidential by default
Documents, recordings and internal materials are used only to support your training and are never repurposed. We delete them at the end of your programme unless you ask us to retain them.
AI, used carefully
Where we use AI to support practice, content is anonymised and stored securely. Nothing is submitted for model training; you control what is included.
NDA welcome
We are happy to sign your company’s NDA before we begin.
Respect for identity
We do not erase accent or personality. We help you be heard clearly, with your own voice.
