First of its kind in Hong Kong, Speak English like a Native is a unique accent reduction program specifically catered for Cantonese speakers. It helps aspiring English learners to acquire a pronunciation that is very close to the native-speaking model.

• Every feature of the Hong Kong accent, from the smallest deviation of articulation, to the use of stress and tones, is pinpointed and “rectified”.
• An ideal combination of lectures and in-class practice – participants will get lots of opportunities to open their mouths.
• “Oral Gym” – participants will do plenty of articulatory exercises designed specially for this program.
• A large number of video and audio materials will be used to illustrate the differences between an English accent and an accent influenced by Cantonese.
• Students will be required to do at least 2 recording exercises, and will be given audio feedback.
• Individual guidance is provided.
• Proven effective by our hundreds of participants.
