Description

Finance & Accounting Professionals need to communicate in English on a daily basis, and if you work with the US or live and work in the US, it’s important that everyone understand you clearly. It can hurt your credibility, confidence, and ability to do your job if people either misunderstand you or misinterpret what you say. In order to be clear in American English, you’ll want to master the key components of the language.

Now that you have completed the first six courses in this series, you are ready to learn more about intonation or the rhythm and melody of American English and how it impacts your speech in general. You’ll especially want to know more about this so that you can project a strong presence when you speak.

This course focuses on intonation, the music of the language. You’ll learn how to put together everything you’ve learned so far to perfect the “pitch swings” of American English (when to go “up” and when to go “down.”) You’ll also learn the best practices of speech in terms of posture, articulation, projection, and breathing. This will affect you delivering your message, whether in a meeting, one-on-one or in a presentation.

This course also uses finance & accounting vocabulary so that when you learn the concepts of English, you’ll also learn to say the words that come up for you every day at work.

Course Key Concepts: English, pronunciation, pronounce, American, vocabulary, finance words, accounting words, intonation, rhythm, music of the language.
