FREE INTRODUCTORY CLASS ON JUNE 22
All who plan on taking the course are encouraged to attend the introductory class.

The introductory class lays the foundation for the work that follows, and is an opportunity to see if the course fits your needs.

Taking the introductory class does not oblige you to take the course, and you do not need to sign up for the course before taking the introductory class.

THE CLASS
The course consists of one 2-hour class per week, and will have a maximum of 25 participants.

3 levels
• beginning - 6 months
• intermediate - 6 months
• advanced - ongoing, by invitation or upon completing beginning and intermediate classes.

When you sign up for the beginning or intermediate course, we ask you to make a six-month commitment.

The course includes, but is not limited to:

  • American vowel and consonant sounds
  • American inflection and stressing
  • American vocal patterns
  • American vocal placement
All you have to do:
  • Email Jon to inquire if there are spaces available.
  • Download the Zoom App on your phone, tablet or laptop. (It’s free and easy to use!)
  • Purchase one or more months of classes using the PayPal button below, or pay for them using your own PayPal, Venmo or Zelle account, by the day before the class to reserve your spot. (For PayPal & Zelle, make payment to jon@jonsperry.net. For Venmo use jonjsperry.)
  • You will receive the easy, one-click link to "Zoom In” to the class.

Classes are limited to 25.

All participants will receive a video of the class and written material. Videos are restricted to class participants. By joining the class, you agree not to disseminate the video or any other material to anyone outside the class.

After completing the initial course, or if you already have a light accent in English, you may be invited to join the advanced class, which focuses on text to deepen your command of the American accent.
