How to RELAX your ACCENT | Part 1 | Connected Speech & Linking in English

This lesson is PART 1 of a series of English lessons created to help you reduce your accent and communicate more clearly in English.
This is SO IMPORTANT to build your confidence speaking in English and increase your fluency. Improve your pronunciation and increase your listening skills, so that you can understand fast-talking native speakers.

Note: My video lessons are created to help English learners to improve their pronunciation and speaking skills. Please note that the pronunciation of some of these words differs between English accents. I speak with an Australian English accent 🙂

Prepositions are one of the most frustrating parts about English - but they don’t have to be! I’ve created a course that will help you to master the most common English prepositions - I’ll teach you how to use them in context, study how they are used and (importantly) I’ll help you to practise using them! This course includes grammar lessons PLUS imitation practice (so you get to practise your pronunciation with me too!)

Even though we are talking about REDUCING your accent in this video... HAVING an accent is not a bad thing! What part of your accent do you love most? Do any native English speakers complement your accent? What do they say?!! 😍

I think YouTube should add the "Love" button to us too, since we don't only love your videos, but we love you too❤️❤️❤️

[teresaoregel]

I am addicted to your channel. Actually I bought one of your imitating course and I’ve been improving little by little. As you mentioned, It takes practice but practice makes perfect. Thank you so much for all the effort you make in order to help non-native speakers to improve our pronunciation. In three months I will do the Proficiency test so, If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Thanks Emma.
