Poor to PRO Pronunciation - American Accent Basics and Tools (Course Intro)

This course is a technical yet simple introduction on English Vowels, specifically American Vowels. By building your understanding of Linguistics, you will begin to see and hear why you might not sound like a native speaker. I also recommend using online assessment tools so that you can record your speech, identify mistakes, and measure your pronunciation skills.

The next course will focus on 9 of the most commonly misunderstood and misspoken sounds in English, the single vowels. This is a fun and focused Mini Course that uses a system of video lessons, extended practice through music, and the online assessment tools (software/app). You will follow a study plan, record your voice, get instant feedback, and measure your improvement.

How will you know if this course is right for you?

If you need to improve your English pronunciation quickly for IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, business communication, or simply because you love English, this could be the course for you. If your first language is Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, this course was designed for you!

What’s special about the course?

1. The lessons use side-view drawings and front-view videos to help you see, hear, and understand how the sounds are made

2. There is a color-coded system of symbols, in IPA (the International Phonetic Alphabet), to help you remember the different sounds that you will learn

3. This is the only course that gives you a complete understanding between Spelling and Pronunciation (Spelling vs. Sound) for American English Vowels

4. Advanced speech recognition software and an app are used to measure your speech, identify mistakes, and assist with developing clear and natural pronunciation

Thank you for taking this course. :)
