English, Their Way

At Accent College, our mission is to preserve, celebrate, and teach the linguistic diversity that shapes the global English language. We believe that every accent tells a story—a story of identity, culture, and history. By mastering the art of accents, we empower individuals to communicate with empathy, respect, and authenticity, fostering meaningful connections across borders.

As English has become the world’s lingua franca, it carries the responsibility to unite rather than homogenize. Our programs embrace this opportunity by honoring the unique ways English is spoken around the world, providing tools for effective communication while preserving cultural heritage.

• Foster Cultural Relatability: Equip learners with the skills to adapt their speech to reflect the cultural rhythms of those they communicate with, creating instant rapport and understanding.
• Promote Global Understanding: Use the power of accents to bridge divides, reduce barriers, and celebrate the beauty of diversity in every conversation.
• Preserve Linguistic Heritage: Catalog and teach the world’s accents, ensuring their preservation for generations to come.
• Empower Individuals: Help students enhance their personal and professional relationships by connecting more deeply through language, whether in business, travel, diplomacy, or romance..

Kellogg was born while his family was in exile on the island of Malta.  In his formative years he regularly moved from place to place, often  in the middle of the night and mostly between remote foreign lands; it is unclear if this nomadism was a result from his father's  business ventures or  ties his family had with various politicians around the world and the ever shifting political climates.

This early imbalance and varied multi cultural experiences left an indelible mark on him as a young man.    Kellogg has spent much of his life as a traveling professor, sharing his passion for linguistics and cultural studies with students across the globe. His deep appreciation for the power of language to connect people inspired the creation of Accent College to act as a hub for cultural preservation and global communication.

 Basil spent his early years in a quaint hamlet in Bavaria. Shortly after the incarceration of his grandfather  he would go onto  spend his teenage years in South Africa and various Caribbean islands,  along with frequent trips to visit relatives in Argentina.  He brings a richly international perspective to Accent College as Basil experienced firsthand the beauty of linguistic diversity and the challenges of communication across various cultures. His lifelong dedication to celebrating the different global voices has shaped Accent College’s mission to honor accents as integral parts to each person's cultural identity.  

Basil has also been widely credited as the man who had urged Dustin Hoffman to continue his acting career whilst on a flight from Bogota to Miami in the early 90's.
