How expensive is it for you personally to struggle with speaking English, with conversational English?
Let's do a bit of quick math right now.
Let's say the average promotion at your job comes with a 10% salary increase.
If you're making $60,000, that's $6,000.
Now what happens if you don't get that promotion?
Not because you aren't qualified, but because your spoken English is holding you back.
You don't speak up in meetings.
You avoid presenting.
Maybe your manager assumes you're not leadership material.
That's $6,000 lost this year.
And next year, same thing.
Over five years, that's $30,000 gone.
But it's not just the money, is it?
It's the feeling of being stuck, of knowing you're capable of more but not being able to show it.
It's watching others get ahead.
It's being asked to repeat yourself.
It's avoiding social situations because you're afraid of not being understood.
What is that costing you?
Some of my students are learning English just for fun and that's amazing.
But for the vast majority, English isn't optional.
They need it to succeed at work or they've moved to the US or Canada and need it to build a life relationships, community confidence.
For them.
Improving their English pays off, sometimes in dollars, sometimes in emotional freedom, sometimes in both.
And today I'm going to give you a deal.

I want to share a story from one of my students, Tom, who reached out via email.
He said, I live in Toronto.
I've been with the Academy for 13 months.
My boss recently told me that my pronunciation has improved substantially and I was promoted to Assistant Vice President at the beginning of this year.
Whoa, that is huge.
This was at a major investment management firm in Toronto.
And Tom's not the only student who's told me that by improving his spoken English he was able to get a promotion, a better job or open up some new opportunity that wasn't available before.
I created Rachel's English Academy because I've seen too many talented people get held back by their spoken English.
I myself have lived abroad, and my speaking skills weren't great either in Germany or the Dominican Republic.
I could get by, but I couldn't express my ideas or my own intelligence the way that I wanted to.
I felt that.
I felt like a less interesting version of myself.
Like the real version of me was locked inside.
The truth is you can make dramatic progress in your English speaking quickly with the right tools, with training that helps you sound natural, confident and clear.
Rachel's English Academy is that training.
The ideas for my lessons grew out of my love of music and my background as an opera singer.
They've been refined by 20 years of working with students like you and helping students like Tom reach their goals.
Over 40,000 students have trained with me in Rachel's English Academy.
Hundreds of students have already signed up during our Black Friday sale.
Discounts are up to 70% off.
Join them.
We still have room for you and plenty of time to devote to you, because not only do you get access to our courses when you sign up, you get access to our community too.
Community is the best way to take your accent training to the next level.
You can get personalized feedback from our expert teachers, find practice partners and video chat with teachers through Zoom during our office hours.
The cost of investing in your accent pales in comparison to what it costs you to never improve.
And on top of that, we're happy to offer a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Just let us know and we'll cancel and refund you.
But I don't think you're going to want to do that, because when students see what works, they get hooked.
Let me show you a little bit of what you'll get in Essentials.
Essentials is just one of over 20 courses you get when you join the Academy.
But I do encourage everyone to start with this five-week course.
The core course of Essentials is made up of modules, each with several parts.
You'll finish one part every day.
In each module, we'll go over the method you'll need to master the topic at hand.
Essentials is built on the concept of micro skills and helping you master them.
We've broken the whole big concept of American English down into micro skills so you can do very focused practice and make real progress.
Throughout the modules, you'll learn the science of why we're working the way we are.
We build in so much exposure and repetition that there's no way not to improve.
You'll study clips from our live classes to understand exactly the changes you need to make to your own voice to sound confident speaking English.
I want it flat to be even higher.
So watch this.
Very flat.
Exactly.
And I can't stress it enough.
Essentials is built on the play it, say it method.
Every day we have you talking.
I don't want you to waste even one day learning about something.
This course is not about simply learning something.
It's about getting it into your body with the training.
There's so much repetition and exposure that you can't help but master these micro skills with a deliberate practice we've given you.
The training audio comes in multiple forms, including soundboards, so you can guide your own practice.
And downloadable audio with pauses built in, so you can do the training on the go in your car, when you're going for a walk and so on.
There's variety in the kinds of audio exercises you'll be working with, but they all work towards the same goal.
Speaking effortlessly without having to think about pronunciation.
Understanding and building the habit of the American accent.
We have visualization exercises and we also teach you how to record yourself and listen to yourself to become your own best coach.
The students who have gone through Essentials absolutely love it because they feel the difference in their own fluency, and the people around them notice it too.
Now, let me be clear here.
You are not going to sound native after five or six weeks.
If anyone tells you that, don't believe them.
But you will get mastery of some of the micro skills of the American accent.
And more importantly, you'll see how the process works.
You'll feel the difference in your own speaking.
But as I said, Essentials is just one of over 20 courses in Rachel's English Academy.
But there's more.
Our courses cover every topic in American English pronunciation, from placement to all the sounds, rhythm linking stress.
In a video, you'll learn about a concept, but this academy is not about learning with your mind.
It's about learning with your body.
So even though we have over 500 videos, the change happens with the thousands of audio files.
We'll give you the method to use to do this work.
You repeat with the play it, say it method.
And as you play the files over and over, your ear starts to tell your body what changes to make, without your brain doing anything or getting in the way.
It's body learning.
So all of our courses have these sound boards.
You learn a concept, you drill it into your body.
We have conversation courses where you can look at an analysis video and understand what you're hearing.
Then you go to the sound board and you train that way of speaking into your body.
But there's more.
Everyone who gets a subscription gets access to our private community too.
That's where you get access to our teachers.
I've been teaching the American accent for 20 years and what I've learned is this.
Change doesn't have to take forever.
You don't need to live in the US for 10 years.
You don't need perfect vocabulary or grammar.
You need targeted, consistent training on how you sound.
Rachel's English Academy gives you exactly that.
Tools that are designed to help you train your mouth and muscles for natural American pronunciation.
Learn the rhythm, melody, and the stress patterns that make you sound fluent.
Build your confidence with real practice and real feedback.
It's practical, Proven and flexible, you can do it from anywhere, anytime.
Every student starts from a different place, but what's amazing is how quickly you can start hearing and feeling the difference.
The Academy first launched in 2016.
Since then, over 40,000 students have signed up and changed their lives.
Here are some of them.
Hi, I'm Chihiro and I'm a student of Rachel English Academy.
I would recommend other people to join this academy because they have so many useful resources, including helpful teachers.
You can build a habit of practicing your English pronunciation almost every day with other community members.
That is very encouraging.
So that's it for me, and I hope to see you soon in the academy.
Because it's not only about being understood, it's about understanding, because we need to understand native speakers in order to speak, in order to interact with them.
So knowing that reductions exist or that the words interact in a sentence, knowing the way the words link together, for example, or the way the voice tends to go down in pitch, I think it's very useful online so you can study, you can work with the materials, you can take the courses at any time, and if you enjoy Ben Franklin exercises as much as I do, I'm pretty sure you're gonna love it, because there are lots of analysis of the speech of native speakers and there are lots of fun videos too, and repetition, which is very important, And it's very affordable too.
