Sounding Out Words English by the Hour

Most Asian speakers pronounce words as “units”. This means you say words one-at-a-time with all the sounds at once. So if you are mispronouncing a word, you probably won’t notice. If instead you sound out the word and pay attention to each sound (consonants, vowels, and syllables) and say the word deliberately making all the sounds before you speed it up, you’ll get a much better result!

Engage with a professional speech and American accent coach to improve how you sound and how you are perceived by others with help from professional coaching.
