Spoken English Tutorial - What you need to know for a better American English accent

I want to talk to you about a few points that will definitely help you to improve American English accent.

You probably know the common problems of people who have learned English as a second language - regardless of their efforts may not sound like a true native, and all tips are given - a practice more, talk to the natives - not that useful. Well, here are myths.

just tells you no longer give anything unless you have a good base

Yes, before driving all your energies towards something you need to have direction. That is why they say that the foundation is the most important thing, and refers to the right that you'd be talking about building a skyscraper or learning skills, such as our skills - speaking perfect American English

Natives do not always give good advice, because they learned the language of the unconscious, and sometimes can not explain what they themselves are doing. That's why you hear bad advice like "talk more slowly, and be clearer. " Actually it's not exactly that.

is not just about learning the sounds

People have no trouble pronouncing certain sounds, usually. So, in your case it might not be so, but remember that just learning the phonetic alphabet by heart will not suddenly acquire that American speech. Why you ask? Well, mostly because it's not just about learning some votes. When you hear "Bob was on the phone" Do you spell it as "Bob was on the phone" or "Babizonthefound" (something like this)? Well, the latter is correct.

Yet, most people have no problems with individual sounds. There are other areas you should be paying attention to it, and here they are

Connecting the word! Do not read them one by one!

As in the previous example, you should have already realized that there was something more on this subject that the eye can see. We all learned first printed in English and have never been taught how gender actually think and speak in our class. And it's bad, because American kid does not learn language from books - he learns from imitating their parents. That is why he was able to speak just as the U.S., while the party sound like it says word for word, which incidentally is not the correct way to go about it.

So, as I said, you're probably one of those who likes to read word for word and I think this is the correct way to speak the language. However, there must be a strong link between the words. For example, you know that the common "slang" Would you do it? "Well, the thing is to" slang ", if you try to read it to the finish, it will sound silly and forced, but if you read:" Do you want to do it fast enough, gloating sounds, you'll notice that you, of course, a combination of words and it sounds exactly like "Do you want to do ".

talk like an American!

Listen to the American says. He uses intonation. In Holywood films is less obvious, but the intonation is still there - there is a higher pitch at the beginning of sentences and the downward trend as a punishment to go to

Also, Americans love to use intonation to emphasize their message, the tone of their message, introduce new information, etc.

Try to say: "Are I to steal a car?" and "Did I steal car ?". first suggests that he did not steal a car, while others suggest that he did not steal a car (but probably something else)

practice of

Now that you know the basic principles you should start paying more attention to them. Every day you should review your speech to see if you're doing a good American intonation or not, if you are speaking the words one by one (which is incorrect), and if you know how to pronounce every sound correctly (such as 'th', etc Schwa ).

Get the right foundation and everything else will follow. With consistent hard work.
