Other Class Offerings at DBC

Toastmasters
English is your second language and suddenly you have to give a presentation or speech in front of a large group. Are you confident enough to do so? If not, attend The Atlanta Language Klub (TALK). We are affiliated with the Toastmaster organization and our goal is to help you to overcome the "Fear of Public Speaking" through an organized and proven System. Meetings are every 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month at DBC. Contact Oskar Hofer for more information.

Accent Reduction
Accent Reduction gives non-native English speakers the opportunity to remove language barriers and miscommunication by gaining a more North American accent. Through this class you will master English sounds that had previously been impossible to pronounce and gain more professional and personal confidence by being easily understood by other people. The class meets the first, third and fifth Thursday evenings throughout the entire year from 7-9 pm in room G-202 at DBC.
