What People are Saying
I highly recommend the Clear Talk strategies to anyone who needs to drive or participate in meetings, presentations and phone conversations. I believe the techniques you learn here can be great tools in getting your point across, motivating people, evaluating and responding to nuances in social behavior.
S.D., India, upper management, Communication tech R&D firm
The Clear Talk lessons were a real eye-opener for me. They have increased my intelligibility enormously. I now listen to myself while speaking and am alert to voice volume, pitch and pronunciation. I am now much more understandable in all situations – on the phone, in meetings and in presentations.
S.R., India, R & D project manager, MBA at Stanford University
… improving my English dramatically. Before this course, much of my pronunciation is wrong, but I don’t know about that at all, and I can’t tell the difference between mine and native Americans’… it focuses on basic skills and an every day practice with clear talk strategy, doing double or triple clear.
X.L., China, Ph.D. Candidate in Geophysics
I have corrected the wrong pronunciations that are Chinese-English… wonderful teacher who pushed me speaking clear English. I learned many useful things, including the culture of the America, the skills to do presentation, the rules for grammar, word family, syllable division, syllable stress and voice inflection.

You helped me raise my intelligibility from about 30% to about 60%…I really feel sorry for my students who were in my first semester when my intelligibility was only 30%…Now I confidently speak in our seminars and workshops…if you want to be successful, either in the US or China, you must speak decent English.
R. Z., China, Ph.D. Business, now professor in a
leading university in China
I am a Visiting Lecturer in Italian at the French-Italian Department of the University of Colorado at Boulder. Before arriving here, I had already received a lot of training in communication paid for by businesses I worked with in Europe. I had also paid for specialized diction courses on my own. After coming to Colorado, I took further English speech instruction from Antonia Johnson. Antonia’s Clear Talk courses gave me new knowledge in both communication and diction, going beyond anything I had ever seen before. What I liked most was the combination of theory and practice at the same time. As a foreigner in the USA, working in a professional context, I regard her courses as a must. It is some of the best money I ever spent in the USA.”

More from our clients:
“In Clear Talk level 1, I gained a lot on pronunciation…For the first time in my life, I know how to pronounce those words with ‘v,’ ‘sh’ or ‘th.’ You helped me raise my intelligibility from about 30% to about 60% in level 1. I really feel sorry for my students who were in my first semester when my intelligibility was only 30%.
In level 2, the melody is the focus…Now I confidently speak in our seminars and workshops…I recommend all students from China take this class. Because in China, we never have this kind of training and if you want to be successful, either in the US or China, you must speak decent English. The Clear Talk class is the best way to improve pronunciation and melody.”

(And from R’s advisor) “…I especially appreciate the work you have done most recently with R. Her English communication skills have improved enormously over the two years she has been with us…she is assigned to teach beginning accounting in the continuing education program this coming fall (her own stand-alone class).”
“Thanks for every word that I learned in your course. I want to emphasize the enjoyable environment that you prepared for the course.”

D.G. Russia, graduate student, Chemistry
“Thank you very much for your Clear Speech instruction. It has been an amazing tool for me. Like what yoga or Pilates class does to our body, your Clear Speech Accent Reduction program…has strengthened the overall speaking ability! Your instructions have helped me speak clearly in every occasion and to achieve my career goals in TV broadcasting.”
C.S., S. Korea, weather broadcasting
“I have been in the US for over a decade and consider myself to be a proficient English speaker, so getting into the course, I was not very sure of its value to me. However, the techniques I learned in the Clear Talk lessons have taken me to a new level of comprehensibility and are helping me in my career advancement. I highly recommend the Clear Talk strategies to anyone who needs to drive or participate in meetings, presentations and phone conversations. I believe the techniques you learn here can be great tools in getting your point across, motivating people, evaluating and responding to nuances in social behavior.”
