How Expensive is NOT Speaking English the Way You Want To? | Speaking English with Confidence

How expensive is it for you personally to struggle  with speaking English with conversational English? 

How much does it cost you per year to  not speak English with total confidence? 

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. 60 to 70% off the accent training courses at  

Rachel's English Academy, including a bonus  if you sign up today that you won't be able  

to resist. 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. Wow! 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. 

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 5 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? 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,  and right now I'm offering three major deals  

for this week only. 60% off my new course,  “Essentials”, which streamlines your on-ramp  

to the accent training that works. Or 70% off  the full Academy. Get all 25 courses and updates  

for life. And monthly live classes with me. Also,  70% off Full Academy plus community. Not only do  

you get lifetime access to all the courses, you  also get a bonus of one year in our community. 

The 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. 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. 

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 the  deliberate practice we've given you. The  

training audio comes in multiple forms, including  soundboards, so you can guide your own practice. 

At Bob’s. 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 5 or 6 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, This might be enough for  

you. Goal met. Or, you might think "I get this I  love this and I want to improve more." Good news  

It's not just essentials that's on sale now It's  the whole academy. 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 soundboard,  and you train that way of speaking into your body. 

Everyone who buys full academy access should start  with Essentials. It's the on-ramp to supercharge  

your learning and to make sure you understand how  this method works. From the essentials course,  

you can go on to any other course in the Academy.  And for students who get the community add-on,  

the training materials are only half of it.  You also get access to our teachers. In our  

online community, you can post a  video and get teacher feedback. 

So maybe you're working on a sound or working on  a conversation. Our teachers going to listen to  

you and let you know specifically what tweaks to  make to sound more natural and take the effort out  

of speaking. Students with community access can  also attend conversation meetups online or our  

drop-in hours every week. You can join the online  classroom There are teachers there, type your  

question in chat or you can turn on your camera  and have a conversation with the teacher. We have  

all the lessons that you need to understand every  concept of American English pronunciation and  

to train a natural sound into your body. With  the support of the community and the teachers  

along with this material, you are unstoppable. 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: 

I am Chihiro and I'm a student of Rachel's 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 English pronunciation  almost every day with other community members.  

That is very encouraging. So that's it from  me and I hope to see you soon in the Academy. 

Because it's not only about being understood.  It's about uh, understanding because we need  

to understand native speakers in order to  speak, in order to interact with them. So,  

um knowing that reductions exist or that uh  the words interact in a sentence, uh, knowing  

the way the uh words link together, for example,  or the way the voice tends to go down in pitch,  

I think it's very useful. It's online so you  can study you can work with the materials,  

you can take the courses at any time. Uh, and  if you enjoy Ben Franklin exercises as much  

as I do I'm pretty sure you're going to love  it because there are lots of analysis of the  

speech of native speakers and um uh, there are  lots of fun videos too and repetition which is  

very important. Uh, and it's very affordable too. If you sign up today Tuesday you get a bonus of  

three extra office hours with me. I'm here for  you as you get started to answer any questions  

you may have about how to make the academy  really work for you. This is a special time  

for me to come together with my students  and make sure that you'll succeed. Join
