  • American AccentImitation Exercise: I shouldn't be bragging

    Have you watch all the American Accent Video Training Program? If not you may want to finish all the video I provided in this blog to help you improve the way you speak English.

    This exercise is a follow up program for American Accent Video Training Program. It is design to help you apply what you've learn in the training program.

    The purpose of this exercise is for you to learn how to speak in an American intonation. The sound of American English is very different from other languages. As you notice when you listen to native Americans, they kind of speak like they sing!

    In this exercise, I do not encourage you to repeat every word the speaker says. Instead, I encourage you to "Imitate" the way they speak. Try to listen very carefully on how they put music in their speaking. Then, repeat it. Just repeat the sound not the words.

    Are you ready? here it is...
