American Accent Training for Chinese First Language Speakers

Try my latest program on Vimeo for only $30: vimeo.com/onde...
This video focuses on common issues all first language Chinese speakers of English have in common (Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese, and other dialects). Topics include: integrating air flow with speech, especially on final consonants and endings (/s/, /z/, /ed/), linking with air flow, increasing awareness on creating and implementing changes in speech, making final sounds louder, and lengthening vowels in stressed syllables following by /l/, /m/, /n/, and /ng/ sounds. www.englishbythehour.com

[@rebeccalinquist]

@a7singularity9empire Believe me ... nothing could be further from the truth. I'm a huge advocate for non-native speakers.

[@RW19T]

Good, at the same time english speakers better know how to pronouce j q x & ü sound in chinese. There are so many chinese names with these letters. x is little bit like x in spanish. and ü is the same found in German.

[@user-cq3pj3sg3y]
