Sound familiar?
Struggling to find the right words
You may have a solid grasp of textbook English, but people still struggle to understand you, which can be frustrating.

Success Stories
Don’t just take our word for it, see what our members have achieved!
Be Understood taught me about American intonation, working on word stress, pitch, rise and fall, and much more.
I’m more confident while speaking American English, and I wholeheartedly recommend Linda and Be Understood to anyone looking to improve their English communication skills.
I had the privilege of working with Linda, the founder of Be Understood, to refine my English communication skills, particularly my pronunciation as a native Chinese speaker.
Linda’s scientific approach to speech therapy was impressive. She provided exercises and techniques that were tailored to my specific needs. Linda always went the extra mile to ensure that I fully understood the material, and her encouragement kept me motivated throughout the process.
I am so happy I have come across Be Understood. The lessons and techniques are so much more than I have learned anywhere.
The lessons are so effective, practical and helpful in boosting my confidence, making me a more effective speaker. It also helped me in projecting myself both at work and in any social situation. I was actually surprised by how much I discovered about reaching the fullest potential in my American English speaking skills. Thank you so much, Linda!
I went to Linda before I started working on my podcast. I wanted to perfect my diction and my overall tone of my voice.
Not only did she help me with that she also gave me some other tips that really helped my career. Thank you, Linda you are the best. Looking forward to our next session.
Highly recommend Be Understood to anyone who wants to improve their English/Pronunciation!
I especially enjoyed working with Linda because of her unique style to understand students’ needs and enable them to achieve their goals.
I’m very thankful that Linda’s ways of mentoring helped me understand the pronunciation of words and intonation of American English.
I’m Linda, M.A. CCC-SLP American Accent Speech Coach & founder of Be Understood
Before founding Be Understood, I earned my master’s in Speech-Language Pathology in 2003, diving deep into the world of speech and communication. My passion for helping others communicate clearly led me to connect with non-native English speakers from around the world, each with their own incredible stories of determination and perseverance.
After years of helping English learners master the American accent, I realized I wanted to help even more people. That’s why I created the Beyond Pronunciation Membership – a space designed for fast, effective learning through bite-sized videos and engaging, interactive activities.
Our mission is simple: to make mastering the American accent accessible and affordable for everyone. We believe that personalized feedback is key to your success, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
