Accent Master Steps Out as the High Tech Answer to Accent Reduction

BAYSIDE, N.Y. (EWORLDWIRE) Jan 1, 2008

They come to American shores already holding degrees in engineering, nursing, physical therapy, medicine - and the list goes on. As in the tradition of all the immigrants that came before them, they all have one thing in common: ambition. These professionals tend to have a strong grasp of the English language but find their accents provide a mighty barrier to their success.

Accent Master is one of many providers of accent reduction found if googled; however, the company stands apart in its cutting-edge use of technology never seen before in this field, making the most of the e-learning trend.

The new immigrants embrace the latest in technology. Video conference calling, webinars, software and video e-mail are attractive options for busy professionals who would prefer to do their self-improvement right from their home or office. All this technology makes it possible for Accent Master's instructors in New York to see clients in California, without jet lag.

These foreign born professionals are moving learning English pronunciation to the top of their new year's resolutions as they find that being able to speak English clearly is as important as knowing the grammar rules.

"As a software engineer, I worked with engineers that had immigrated from India and Russia, all very knowledgeable and all very difficult to understand," says founder Steve Bo.

Accent Master's traditional accent reduction class lasts from 12 to 24 weeks; however, to reach those that may not have the time or money to invest in a full class, the company is now offering self-guided study classes, short term classes for presentations, prerecorded video lessons and webinars starting in January. Accent Master continues to offer customized software and have now added Igbo and Yoruba to an impressive list of accent reduction software programs.

Accent Master was founded by Steve and Lynn Bo - Steve, the technical expert, and Lynn, the expert in accent reduction. The company was founded two years ago and is located in Queens, N.Y. They now have instructors and clients throughout the country. Learn more online at 'http://www.AccentMaster.com'.
