SUCCESS STORY
Paul Thurkettle, NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT)
BECAUSE EVERYONE DESERVES TO BE HEARD
Pronunciation, in every language, is key to effective communication. Judy Ravin, President of Accents International, learned this first-hand. As an undergraduate student living in France, Judy experienced what it felt like to be asked, “What? What did you Say? Can you repeat that?”
Judy’s struggle in French wasn’t because of poor grammar or vocabulary. It was her accent which kept native French speakers from clearly understanding her.
Upon her return to the U.S., Judy began a career in refining the field of accent reduction training into what would become the Ravin Method® of rapid language acquisition. The Ravin Method® is recognized as the gold standard for teaching non-native English speakers how to pronounce sounds in English that do not exist in other languages.
Today, thousands of students around the world have experienced the life changing power of the Ravin Method® of accent reduction training taught exclusively through Accent International’s online classes for Individuals and Organizations.

EXCELLENT Based on 30 reviews Posted on Yurong FeiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Judy's constructive and practical guidance to be very helpful. These accent reduction classes offer excellent American accent training that makes a big difference in clarity. Thank you so much to Judy Ravin and Accents International!Posted on Charles WiameTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I strongly recommend the “Powerful Pronunciation” program offered by Accents International. As a native French speaker who had been living in the United States for less than two years, I was frequently asked to repeat myself in everyday conversations. Because my work involves a great deal of teaching, meetings, and public speaking, I wanted to reduce my French accent and improve the clarity and fluency of my spoken English. What makes “Powerful Pronunciation” particularly effective is how personalized and practical the program is. The one-on-one format allows the instruction to be fully tailored to the student’s specific needs, leading to noticeable progress from the very first sessions. After an initial assessment, the program first focuses on strengthening the pronunciation of English vowel and consonant sounds that are not yet fully mastered. The second phase then becomes highly profession-oriented. In my case, I was able to share the slides from my engineering lectures with my instructor, which allowed her to target the technical vocabulary and recurring expressions I use daily in academic and professional settings. I was also extremely fortunate to work with Judy, who was not only kind and encouraging, but also exceptionally proactive and flexible with scheduling and organization. One aspect of her teaching that I found especially valuable was her systematic tracking of pronunciation mistakes throughout each session. She carefully compiled personalized word lists based on the mistakes and difficult pronunciations identified during our sessions, and would send them afterward along with customized practice material. This made it possible to review and work immediately on the exact words and sounds that needed improvement. The benefits of the program were clear in both my professional and personal life. Beyond improving my overall clarity and ease of communication, I realized that there were many common words I had been mispronouncing for years without even noticing. Correcting these subtle but important issues made a significant difference in how naturally and effectively I communicate in English.Posted on Fernanda MoraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just finished my program with Accent International and I fully recommend it. Not only do the teachers share amazing tips on pronunciation, expressions and grammar but they also personalize each session and approach so you can learn as much as you can. My teacher was Judy Ravin and I really enjoyed how she made me feel confident on my level and gave me so much tips showed in my daily life immediately. I really liked the methodical but human approach the program had, again, I fully recommend it.Posted on Teresa TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend these accent reduction classes. Since starting the program, I feel much more confident speaking at work and I continue using the practice materials in my daily conversations. Judy has been incredibly supportive throughout the program, and I truly appreciate her feedback and guidance. I found this program very valuable and worthwhile.Posted on Alicia NavarroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took an accent reduction course Judy Ravin is an amazing teacher, I enjoyed every session and her way to explain, simple yet effective This program is greatPosted on Maria Augusta MontenegroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing! Great learning and fun at the same time. Thank you.Posted on Val CimisliuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the opportunity to attend the English pronunciation train-the-trainer workshop with Judy and her detailed and structured approach was extremely helpful to better support my students and teachers in the classroom. Her easy to follow and specific guidance on teaching challenging English speech sounds and sound combinations, tongue placement and stress patterns while working with non-English speakers is a game changer.Posted on Ruhsar KaplanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. English is not my first language, so to improve my pronunciation, I took accent reduction classes with Judy. She is an expert in her field. After my initial assessment, she created an individualized plan focused on the sounds I needed to improve — and it worked wonderfully for me. I will truly miss our one-on-one meetings, where she not only taught me the correct pronunciation but also filled me with positive energy.Posted on Claudia RobinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Accent Reduction program was clear, structured, and practical. The instructor provided strong guidance, personalized feedback, and effective pronunciation exercises. The sessions improved my speech clarity and confidence in professional communication. I would recommend this training for anyone seeking clearer, more consistent verbal communication.Posted on Karin BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took an accent reduction class with Judy Ravin, and it was outstanding! Judy is exceptionally knowledgeable, and she is a very gifted teacher. Her instructions and course materials are crystal clear. It was very easy to practice what she taught. Thanks to Judy and her expertise, I was able to greatly reduce my foreign accent. At this point, it’s hardly detectable. I also enrolled in the follow up class, which I highly recommend taking. The extra sessions provided more practice, and they helped me implement and fine tune everything I learned. This is a top quality, professional organization. It was also a pleasure working with Judy. I am so grateful, and I have nothing but praise for Accent International.
