Our catch phrase is on its way.

Dear Fellow Earthlings,

One of my clients has made a huge mistake. This gentleman (“Client K”) has been a client for more than 10 years. Due to a spotty attendance record, Client K took about 11 years to go from his initial 85.1 level (when he was still a university student back in 2002) to 89.5 in early 2013. The 89.5 level attained, Client K then registered for the 90-level course. Since a Jingles score of “90” indicates a native level of English pronunciation expertise, Client K was truly “knocking on the door” of nativelike

English pronunciation competency last year at this time.

But then, something quite odd occurred…

After taking only a few sessions of his 90-level course, Client K mysteriously stopped coming to his Jingles sessions. Since there is a time limit for completing each Jingles course, our office eventually contacted Client K to let him know that his course completion deadline was quickly approaching. He confidently informed us that he had been attending a different pronunciation school -- and was now ready to take (and, presumably, pass…) the 90-level J-TEP (Jingles Test of English Pronunciation).

This made no sense to me, for Client K had had very little Jingles training during the past 12 months. However, Client K was allowed to take the test when one of my office staff (a new hire) failed to ask him to take the required “pre-test” for J-TEP-90, which would have screened him and would have prevented the sad situation that Client K must now face.

The effects of Client K's "other" pronunciation school's influence on him were disastrous:

He failed the J-TEP-90 test test with an extremely low score.

To my Jingles clients – and to any potential Jingles clients: Do not mix Jingles with any other so-called “pronunciation therapies”! The results of such mixing are always disastrous!
