OUR STORY
Pronunciation, in every language, is key to effective communication. Judy Ravin, President of Accents International, learned this first-hand. As an undergraduate student living in France, Judy experienced what it felt like to be asked, “Pardon me? Can you repeat that? I don’t understand.” Judy’s struggle in French wasn’t because of poor grammar or vocabulary. It was her accent which kept native French speakers from clearly understanding her.
Upon her return to the U.S., Judy began a career in refining the field of accent reduction training into what would become the Ravin Method® of rapid language acquisition. The Ravin Method® is recognized as the gold standard for teaching non-native English speakers how to pronounce sounds in English that do not exist in other languages.
Today, thousands of students around the world have experienced the life changing power of the Ravin Method® of accent reduction training taught exclusively through Accent International’s online classes for Individuals and Organizations.
BECAUSE EVERYONE DESERVES TO BE HEARD
“Accents International is the gold standard in English Pronunciation training, from learning outcomes to customer service.”
Senior Partner, Korn Ferry
