American English Vowels & Placement for All

You will learn how to adjust your voice to sound more like a native speaker of American English.  You will also learn to articulate clearly!  Messy vowels make it difficult or impossible for others to understand you.  Learn to produce and distinguish between all the English vowels at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of a word.  The course is dense with  detail about every vowel, so you may have to watch certain parts more than once to make sure you’ve got it.   You’ll learn different spelling patterns for each vowel sound.  You’ll learn the common pitfalls for each vowel sound and how to avoid them.  And you’ll l earn how vowels connect to other vowels and consonants.   Example sentences are from every day life as well as high tech or business fields, so you will be exposed to a variety of vocabulary.  The course includes repetition audio practice so you can repeat the sentences over and over again to develop muscle memory.  This course has lessons for learners from various language backgrounds.  It will be beneficial for Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Persian speakers and more.  The instructor has free office hours on Zoom once a month, so you are invited to meet her for questions and to have her check your pronunciation and whether you are incorporating the information properly.
