Is your first accent of PORTUGUESE origin? This course is designed specifically to target your problem sounds. It’s one of the ClearSpeak Time-Online Series tailored for different accent groups.
The ClearSpeak Method is a leader in the accent change field. It’s easy to get results with the professional speech pathology techniques.
I’m Kimi Kimble, your professional tutor and voice coach for your speech journey.
If unclear speech is holding you back in your studies or career, then a Time-Online course is definitely for you. Our courses are for ‘committed’ students who may have tried other approaches and found they don’t produce a true or lasting result. There are no quick fixes!
Pronunciation and accent change are a skill
Like learning to play the piano, you cannot hope to master these by watching a series of short video clips. It takes much more to be able to think and pronounce fluently at the same time.
The professional ClearSpeak Method
Time-Online courses are based on the ClearSpeak Method developed over 25 years. Used in many universities internationally, professional speech therapy techniques set this course apart from others. It will give you your best shot at achieving a superior result.
Use fun techniques to learn
I’ll be guiding you every step of the way through many hours of masterclass videos and ‘listen-and-repeat’ exercises. You’ll be using lots of intuitive visualisations along with instructions about how to move your mouth into the correct position. Simply ‘telling’ you what to do, and asking you to mimic me, are never enough.
Accent change is not just about learning separate sounds
Whole accent change has two quite different sides and both are essential:
Used by professional mimics, this holding posture creates a consistent and fluent accent.
Your mouth must ‘feel’ it is operating quite differently when you change from one accent to another. Most pronunciation courses make no mention of this.
So, take a look at the outline that follows to learn more. I’ll be delighted to have your company if you decide to join me.
All the best for now!
The course is by self-study online.

Lecture One gives you a preview of the novel techniques you will be using. In this short video, Kimi shows you how to make the ‘th’ sound and to use it fluently. You’ll see the approach is quite different to all others.
So, if you are into learning with the latest professional approach, this course is for you!

Check out the detailed breakdown of what’s inside the course
Hallo, I’m Kimi. Let me tell you a little about myself.
I was born in the UK and have lived in South Africa, Thailand and South Korea. All before coming to land in sunny Australia. I qualified as a Speech and Hearing Pathologist and worked in a large General Hospital as Head of Department. Through my career I have worked with speakers from a wide variety of languages and have enjoyed seeing how other cultures tackle life’s challenges. How to communicate with each other is certainly one of the biggest.
Being an enterprising type at heart, I wanted to build my business skills so went back to university for more study. I completed a post-graduate year in Human Resource Management and worked at executive level in a large retail bank. I managed the development of everything from grade and pay scales to career management systems. All with an impact on thousands of employees.
About 25 years ago, I moved back into the speech training field and founded my own business, ClearSpeak Pty Ltd. This allowed me to pursue my passion for English pronunciation and accent. I had seen firsthand how new migrants with excellent qualifications were passed over in their careers. Why? Because no-one was prepared to tell them that if local speakers can’t understand them clearly, they aren’t going to get the job.
I’ve published a number of academic articles and books over the years. My book Perfect Pronunciation is used to train speech pathologists in the accent field in universities internationally. I pioneered the holistic ClearSpeak Method of accent change and have coached hundreds of pronunciation clients by private tuition. These include radio broadcasters, business leaders, actors and professionals who speak English as their second language.
I hope you’ll join me and the Time-Online Team for your studies. You’re sure to find my professional techniques quite different, so why not give them a try? Learning will be fun.
