What you will learn

Pronounce English vowels correctly or be able to monitor yourself for correct pronunciation

Description

In this American English pronunciation course, specifically designed to meet the needs of speakers from India,  you can acquire an American accent by learning to accurately produce the American vowels which Indian speakers of English often confuse.  These tricky vowels include learning to distinguish between "peek" and "pick" and between "look" and "Luke."  Also learn to distinguish between "bone and "born" and many other troublesome pairs.  Confusing these pairs can make you incomprehensible.  All of the vowels are organized and presented in a chart so you can learn to compare and contrast each one.  Then you'll learn not to confuse them.  Tongue exercises are also given so that you can learn to produce the vowels in an American way, relying more on your tongue and less on other parts of your face.  After learning how to make each consonant with simple, every day vocabulary, Computer professionals can then learn to reduce or minimize their accents in an IT vocabulary context.  Sentences will contain the target vowels inside of computer and technology related vocabulary words.  Repetition audio practice is included in the downloadable materials so you can repeat the target phrases on the go until the correct pronunciation becomes part of your muscle memory!  You can just practice 10 minutes here and there to improve your vowels.  You can also attend the instructor's monthly office hour on Zoom- for free.  You can ask questions about what you're learning in the course and ask the instructor to correct you or check your pronunciation.  The instructor is passionate about English and sharing its beauty with others.

The tongue circles are challenging at first but I think they really help me to understand all the vowels and use my tongue the American way.

Terrific! Take this class and you will learn to move your tongue like American. I understand now I tried for a long time to sound like American but I wasn’t using my tongue like how she shows here.

This instructor really catches the details in the accent and she can convey them clearly. Her other courses like Melody and Rhythm are very insightful too.

It was useful to hear the Hindi speaker’s accent next to the teacher’s accent. We can compare easily because she explains why the difference such as the tongue was too high.

I went to her free office hours. I really recommend you go. It was very helpful to have her tell me what I still need to work on and what I am doing right.

I found her small group lessons on her website. Very helpful and affordable. It turns these wonderful video lessons into live lessons where the teacher corrects you.

“The teacher also has small group lessons on Zoom. I found it on her website. It is so helpful to go over the lessons with her and even to have 2 other students working on the same thing.”

This course helped me learn American English. The teacher shows how American vowels are different from Indian or even British vowels.

It would haven useful to explain front and back vowels instead of assuming the learner already knows this concept.

I felt like I learned things I never knew before. I have been speaking English for decades but just figured out I have been saying so many words wrong and now realize why people didn't understand me. I feel more confident now- just need to keep practicing.
