Description

In this course, you will focus on 9 of the most commonly misunderstood and misspoken sounds in American English, the single vowels. This is a fun and focused Mini Course that uses a system of video lessons, extended practice through music, and online assessment tools (software/app). You will be able to plan your studies, 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


***For the larger or full course on "English Pronunciation - American Accent Full Course (Vowels)", which covers 22 American English vowels, please look again on Udemy***

I believe that students can learn more when they are engaged and having fun. As a trained linguist (UC Berkeley), a language learner myself (5 languages), and an English instructor (10+ years' experience in China and Saudi Arabia combined), I offer students a fun yet challenging experience that focuses on the pronunciation skills needed to be successful.
