If 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/ELSAxFLUENTAMERICAN

To 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 York

You'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 avoid

And if that interests you, register here: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=21550696&appointmentType=73697867

5 seats maximum every Wednesday. Sections of class may be posted to socials.
