EP02: Accentedness, Intelligibility and Ease of Understanding

AccentOutLoud

Many times, clients will have a vague idea of what they want and what they expect from accent consultation services. They want to get better but better is such a vague concept and very subjective. There are 3 concepts that need to be discussed to better qualify and compartmentalize peoples' wants and desires:

1) Accentedness

2) Speech Intelligibility

3) Ease of Comprehension

By better grasping how these are interrelated and prioritizing them, you can better understand and focus your efforts on what matters to you. It'll also re-frame what you want into a more understandable, realistic and measureable goal.

About the Show:

AccentOutLoud is your weekly source for English communication, insights, experimentation, and inspiration. Every Thursday (and sometimes more) I'll share my personal take on English communication, tips of English communication and what I think is important in clear communication. If you have an interest in improving your English communication, learning a speech-language pathologist's perspective on the field, or just want uniquely interesting podcast, you're sure to find something useful in each episode. It's my hope that you'll become a fan and gain a better appreciation and understanding of what is involved in your accent as a result!
