"You still have your accent. You'd still sound beautiful. But your clarity is enhanced". Loved that 😂

I had no idea this guy wasn't a native english speaker, he has the most beautiful southern accent I've ever heard

This guy is genius. He is really good. I have seen 4 separate shorts of him giving advice. But genuinely profound. He is a profound guy.

As a polyglot I love the fact that he can speak so passionately about such a simple concept. I wish I had his communication skills

I love it. I say this ALL the time. It's not that people are incapable of speaking with a more "natural" accent for the language, it's that they just need a simple reframing of what it means to speak, which is really a physical activity, and which therefore requires certain physical movements.

This is very true. I also speak Spanish and I’m frequently told that my accent is very close to that of a native speaker. It’s because I understood that Spanish is spoken with a different part of the vocal system than English is. English comes from the back of the mouth and from the throat, Spanish comes from the tongue and lips. When I made that realization and adjusted my pronunciation accordingly, my issues with having an American accent went away.

I often have to remind my Japanese students of this. And you can see their eyes light up when they say the words well and they hear themselves. It's joyful to experience. 🥰

I was trying to learn Japanese. My Japanese friend said "you're moving your mouth too much". When I watched my Japanese co-workers talk they almost mumbled because their lips barely moved. Made so much sense.

His energy is so captivating.... I could listen to him explain anything because he has such a magnetic passion behind his demeanor & vibe. He's so sophisticated. I love all his advice.

Interesting stuff. I speak Chinese and I often shock people with my lack of accent. What he's saying is 100% true, its mouth movements and its rhythm. In Chinese, everything is broken up into individual syllables. Most syllables in Chinese are a word by themselves. They have compound words just like we do, but since each part of the word is itself a word, the cadence treats each part with more emphasis than compound words have in English.

The cadence of Chinese seems sped up to English speakers because of tones as well. In English we use tone over a sentence to imply further meaning. Like a rising tone to a statement to ask a question. In Chinese each syllable has its own tone so to an English speaker it almost seems like each word is a sentence.

I’m from Hawaii. When I first moved to California for school I had a thick accent and only few people could understand me. This is exactly what I did as he’s recommending. Now I can switch my accent in or off depending if I’m talking to someone from Hawaii. Great recommendation.
