What if I can't make a session? Can I reschedule?

+

Yes — life happens! You can reschedule your session if you give at least 24 hours' notice before your session start time.

You can read the full cancellation policy HERE.

What if I don't have time for 1:1 coaching? Do you have online courses?

+

The Accent Clarity Transformation Program is built for busy professionals. Sessions are weekly and come with short, structured practice tasks designed to fit into your workday.

If you prefer to start small, you can check out my Accent Assessment via voice message service to receive a detailed pronunciation report and personalised training plan.

I also offer self-paced online courses that you can explore HERE.

Learning Australian English

How long does it take to sound more natural in Australian English?

+

The time varies depending on:

  • Exposure to the Accent: Listening to Australian speakers through TV, podcasts, and movies helps.
  • Language Proficiency: Advanced English speakers can focus on the accent directly, while beginners may take longer.
  • Practice and Consistency: Daily exercises like shadowing and pronunciation drills are essential.
  • Personal Ability: Those with a good ear for sounds may learn faster.
  • Professional Guidance: An Australian accent coach (meeee) can speed up progress with personalised feedback.

General Timeline:

  • 3–6 months: Noticeable improvement with consistent practice.
  • 1–2 years: Fluency and subtle nuances take time.
  • Long-term: Native-like pronunciation often requires years of immersion.

What's the difference between Australian, British, and American English?

+

Australian English has unique pronunciation patterns, vocabulary, and rhythm that set it apart:

  • Vowels: Aussies have a distinct way of pronouncing vowel sounds (e.g., "day" sounds like "die").
  • Connected speech: Words blend together more in casual Australian speech.
  • Slang: We use unique expressions like "arvo" (afternoon), "brekky" (breakfast), and "no worries."
  • Intonation: Australian Question Intonation (AQI) often makes statements sound like questions.

Understanding these differences is key to sounding natural and being understood in Australia!

Do I need to be at a certain English level to work with you?

+

My programs work best for learners at B2 level (upper intermediate) or higher.

You should be comfortable with basic grammar and vocabulary so we can focus specifically on pronunciation, accent, rhythm, and natural speech patterns.
