Download a free podcast/audio/mp3 at www.fluentamerican.com/podcastIf you want to sound more natural in American English, the truth is that you may not be moving enough right now to achieve that goal. Let's try a new strategy!*If you want to know what sounds you are mispronouncing in English, there is a FREE pronunciation test you can take (and get some free premium access too for extra practice) with ELSA: https://bit.ly/ELSAxFLUENTAMERICANTo be clear: I've found ELSA to be great at specific, individual sounds (e.g., "lock" vs "luck", or "sit" vs "seat"); it struggles a bit more with sentence level reductions and stress. However, for a quick few minutes of practice on sounds you find difficult, I think you'll find ELSA helpful. Take advantage of the discount they've made for you above!*If you're interested in American English, sounding natural, and finding ways to express yourself like native speakers, I have the weekly class for YOU, every Wednesdays, 11AM-12PM New YorkYou'll practice saying phrases, get feedback to learn which sounds/parts of pronunciation to target, and hear native and nonnative examples to know what to do/what to avoidAnd if that interests you, register here: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=21550696&appointmentType=736978675 seats maximum every Wednesday. Sections of class may be posted to socials.See an example of what it is like here: https://youtu.be/9Neg_uHJYmw*Welcome to Wake Up American, where Monday through Friday, we spend a couple minutes on a challenging aspect of American English pronunciation and walk through examples to help you achieve a more natural sound the next time you speak in American English at work, at home, or out and about town.See all the episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PA83m7lXmjQ&list=PLlZ0dlSbrSXhtU6hvocUB69VuvfWZkgZuSupport the show
