Are you making these common mistakes when you speak English?

In this comprehensive lesson, we break down the Top 3 Pronunciation Errors non-native speakers make in American English. Understanding the source of the error is the first step toward correcting it!

The Top Three Error Patterns:

Spelling vs. Sounds (Inconsistency): English spelling is highly inconsistent. Learn why words like SAID and WORD are often mispronounced due to visual spelling rules (e.g., said pronounced as /sɛd/, not sade).

Syllable Rhythm and Stress (Rhythm Issues): Errors in placing stress (e.g., educated vs. eduCAted) or dropping syllables (e.g., science as one syllable instead of two) disrupt fluency and understanding.

Native Language Patterns (L1 Interference): Your first language's sound system (vowels, consonants, and usage rules) creates a filter that causes errors in sounds like the TH, R, and the NG (/ŋ/) sound.

We provide specific examples and strategies to help you identify and correct these critical mistakes!
