ABOUT THE LESSON 📚

Let's talk about some useful pronunciation hacks to help your speech develop a more natural sound. In short, these pronunciation tips are part of what make up the American accent.

And even though I'm teaching you the American accent, you certainly should not feel like you need to speak with any specific English accent. As I mention in the lesson, the most important things are that people understand what you're saying and that you can communicate with others.

But I know some learners would like to speak English effortlessly and smoothly. Therefore, I want to share with you these different hacks to help you better understand the American accent.

I grew up in Canada and we could also add to that list the stop "t" in words like mountain, gotten, important, mitten, kitten etc. That sound is very Norh American.

Such wholesome content. Fully endorse this. I have no idea how I ended up on this video, but WHAT a refreshing break from the scourge that is the modern internet. You go Glen Coco

I am from Haiti, and
I want to let you know that you're my favourite inglish teacher!

[LearnRunes]

The whole point of talking is to make other people understand you. So it doesn't really matter if they think you sound weird, so long as they understand you.

I'm from the UK and a fluent English speaker, but I'm actually using your channel to improve my US accent for voiceover.
Not what you've started the channel for I think, but VERY helpful nonetheless. So, thank very much. 🙂🙂

Hello, I'm from Mexico City and I've been learning a lot with you Wes. You are the best English teacher I've ever had. Greatings.

[riantidewi]

This is very excellent lesson from english master.
If we do not want misunderstood in speaking, when travel to UK use Brits English n when travel to US we hv to use American English, so the is no word like " misunderstood" anymore
Thks so much I love this lesson very much.Keep up the great work 💕💕👍👍👍

[paulmyers]

exactly ! fluidity and understandability are what i'm aiming for. Doesn't matter if people ask me which country I'm from and not which state I'm from, when my sister speaks english she's lucky enough to be asked that question.

[adrianabocanegra]

Great lesson. There's no time that I don't learn something new. I love it. Always improving. Thanks a lot Wes!!!
