This course is designed for English as a Second Language (ESL) learners who want to improve their American English pronunciation and speak more clearly in everyday conversations. Even if you already know English grammar and vocabulary, a strong accent can sometimes make it difficult for others to understand you. This can lead to confusion or frustration in daily situations, at work, or in school. In this class, you will focus on pronouncing American English vowel sounds more accurately. You will also learn natural intonation patterns that help your speech sound more fluent and confident. With guided practice, listening exercises, and speaking activities, you will build the skills you need to communicate more effectively.
Whether your goal is to reduce your accent, improve your confidence, or be more easily understood, this course will help you take your American English to the next level.
