Want to improve your pronunciation and your accent?


Interested in meeting new friends from diverse international backgrounds?


Want to do fun things in Portland while improving your English conversation skills?


Our group is a fun, safe, and free way to get tips from a professional accent reduction instructor, meet and make friends, and practice and improve your accent. At every event members get tips on reducing their accents, meet new friends, and find time to practice and have fun. All levels of English are welcome! Most important of all – IT’S FREE!

Everyone in our group is very nice, supportive and helpful, and we all have fun. We have several events on our calendar with more to come. Monthly Meetups are held at a local location where you’ll get a free assessments and/or an accent reduction lesson in English pronunciation and after everyone hangs out to practice speaking English and socialize. 

The group is led by Darren Packard, a speech-language pathologist who specializes in accent reduction and communication training. He has over 17,000 hours and 11 years of experience training people in accent reduction and communication, is currently on the faculty at Portland State University and teaches for Portland Community College, in addition to teaching private accent reduction, small classes, and large corporate classes throughout the Pacific Northwest and the world via live, online web-based training with Packard Communications.

Our events are only for persons for whom English is not their first language. Accent Reduction Portland is not a place where tutors can promote or advertise their business. This group is 100% free to people who want to reduce their accent in English and learn to speak more clearly. It's all about learning to speak better and with more confidence in a free and fun atmosphere. If you have questions please feel free to contact us. Or better yet: Join!

Thanks and see you soon!
