This Saturday, I'm doing a livestream on the Fluent American youtube channel where I bring on students for ~10 minutes to work on an aspect of pronunciation of your choice!
If you'd like to book one of the few seats, visit https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=21550696&appointmentType=76356565

It's from 8-9:30AM New York, $10 for a seat. I'll take turns going from student to student individually so I can really focus on your need. It'd be great to see you there! Or you can watch for free on the channel.
Let me know if you have questions and I hope to see you!


If you want to sound more natural in American English, the truth is that you may not be pronouncing vowels in a way that gives you the most natural sound. Let's talk why!

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!

Welcome to Wake Up American, where Monday through Friday, we spend a couple minutes on a challenging aspect of American English pronunciation and walk through examples to help you achieve a more natural sound the next time you speak in American English at work, at home, or out and about town.
