Hi, I’m Adrian and I am here to help you sound more native!
I have a linguistics degree and my specialty is accent reduction. I've been a speaker at international language conferences and create video courses on American English pronunciation and accent. I’ve helped people from all sorts of professions improve their accent and I can help you too!
How's my accent? Watch my video for French, 1:09; Spanish, 1:15; Korean, 1:24; Russian, 1:32; and Polish, 1:39. Also: British RP, 2:15; London MLE, 2:28; and NYC, 2:44!Ich als Lehrkraft
Professional and passionate educator
• I study languages as a hobby and a profession
• I research and analyze sound inventories to compare language's sound structures
• I use simple words to describe complex concepts, e.g. how to articulate particular sounds
• I'm also working on improving my accent in the languages I'm learning
Research & development
• I continually improve my teaching methods
• I research, test, and create materials for my students
• I've created customized lessons and syllabi for speakers of major languages such as Slavic, Romance, and Chinese languages, as well as for German, Japanese, and Korean
• I innovate new methods to help students improve
I want you to succeed!Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Class structure
• Accent classes are conducted with a shared document where I paste lesson materials
• In conversation classes, I type new vocabulary and grammatical structures into the chatbox
Lesson policy
• I will wait up to 15 minutes for you if you are late. Otherwise the class is forfeit
• No cancellations/rescheduling within 24 hrs of class time
• Cancellations/rescheduling between 24-48 hour hours of class time are discouraged. Pls rebook ASAP so others can take your spot!

I started taking accent reduction training with Adrian just over a year ago. In that short time, I can say with 100 percent confidence that he is a superb teacher and an expert in linguistics.
His style of teaching encourages creativity and creates a space where it is safe to make mistakes and learn.
Adrian has a growth mindset and constantly creates new content so that his students can learn more effectively.

Adrian is the best accent coach, I've ever had. Every lesson I learn something new, not only common things but also some little things that I haven't noticed before. And these little things help me to sound more like a native. And I really appreciate that Adrian always corrects my mistakes, not every teacher on Italki really pays attention to it. Thank you very much, Adrian :)
