Accents International, LLC is a small business headquartered in Ann Arbor, MI. We are devoted to creating seamless communication required in a global workforce. We create language technology tools and instructional training programs that meet the needs of non-native English speakers. Accents International has developed and delivered programs for organizations in the financial services and healthcare industries, universities, and government agencies. Based on the Ravin Method® of rapid and long-term language acquisition, and exclusive to Accents International, our customized programs rapidly build proficiency in English pronunciation while allowing participants to maintain their unique cultural identities. These high-level skills enhance employees’ foundational knowledge of English as a second language, thus enabling them to speak with greater impact and lead with confidence.

Programs are delivered via distance learning. They are applicable to partners, principals, executive directors, senior managers, managers, and staff members who wish to better communicate with colleagues and clients. Course content is comprised of the articulation techniques necessary to pronounce all standard American English vowel and consonant sounds, as well as patterns of rhythm, stress, and intonation used in everyday speech. Moreover, each course is customized to contain industry specific terms and phrases. Our work has been featured in The New York Times, DiversityInc.com, the Los Angeles Times, AOL-Daily Finance, USA Today, and the Wall Street Journal, as well as on NPR, Voice of America, and CBS Radio-National News, and in a special report on NBC Nightly News.
