All of the Sounds of American English... Made Simple!
Welcome English Learners!
If you have come to this page looking for some help with your American English pronunciation, you are in the right place. I highly suggest ALL English learners who want to improve their pronunciation and fluency (beginners, intermediate, AND advanced English speakers) start with the basic phonemes, that is the basic sounds, that make up the English language.
Even my most fluent and talented English students have found they sometimes mispronounce some of these sounds, especially when it comes to the vowels.
Because of that, I wanted to make a comprehensive video that gives and overview of the main sounds you will need to master in order to improve your English speaking skills.
In this free English video lesson, I will teach you all of the sounds you will need to learn to continue to improve your American accent and start speaking English more fluently and clearly.
Once you become familiar with the sounds of English, then the real work begins and you continue to practice and master each sound in context.
It’s one thing to understand the sounds on an intellectual level, but it’s a different difficulty level entirely to be able to fully integrate what you’ve learned into your every day speech in English. That’s why in all my lessons I provide more than just an explanation of the sounds, but I also always provide example words and practice sentences and paragraphs.
I am always here if you have any questions so feel free to email me at: monica@goalsenglish.com.
Best of luck on your English learning journey.
Keep practicing and you’ll reach your English goals!
