Today we have a guest on the show!
Sean Morgan is an English pronunciation specialist with an acting background.
He will give us three key English sounds that will make you sound like a native speaker.
Three key sounds to pronounce English more naturally:
- “Er” sound: Think of a dog growling and try to repeat this sound. This sounds different in the British English or Australian English. This is one of the most important sounds in American English pronunciation.
- Nasal “A” sound: This occurs in “land” or “pan” or “band” or “and.” It sounds different in British English. The tone of this sound happens in the nasal cavity.
- 5 long vowel sounds: Focus on these because they are super common.
