This course is prepared for those who look forward to improving their pronunciation and sound like the native .So, if you want to be fluent in speaking and able to break the ice to start any type of conversations ,this course fits you .

in this course,You will learn to produce the standard American accent. Some people also call it “broadcaster English.” It’s the kind of standard, neutral speech that you hear on CNN. It’s a non regional American accent, meaning that people do not associate the dialect with any particular part of the United States.

How Should I Practice?

Listen to the0 recorded material over and over. You will hear words and sentences pronounced followed by a pause for you to repeat after the speaker. You may want to record yourself repeating so that you can compare your accent to the accents of the speakers on this audio.Before you are ready to apply this new way of speaking to real-life situations, you will need  to spend some time practicing the new sounds on your own. One method is to select a document that you plan to read aloud. Before reading it, highlight or underline the new sounds that you have learned from this book. Then read the document slowly and carefully. Don’t worry if you sound exaggerated or strange at first. If you read the same document over and over again, you will notice that your speech will start to sound more natural, and you will be able to speak more quickly. Focus only on a few sounds at a time and only practice additional sounds in the same document when you feel ready. Then try speaking English to yourself, slowly and carefully, when no one is listening. You may need to repeat something you said several times until it sounds correct. This is a great practice technique for improving quickly.
