For the best use of shadowing exercises in American English, listen to a section of audio, pause, and repeat what you hear.

    Who am I? My name is Geoff Anderson. I got my MA in Teaching English as a Second Language in 2012, and have been teaching since 2010. I've studied Italian to around level C1-C2. I was also an IELTS examiner for the speaking/writing tests for 3 years.

    Want to know what classes with me are like? Check out our Mission: English program, where we do livestreams that YOU can join Monday through Friday! It'd be great to do pronunciation exercises with you, answer your American English accent questions, and improve together in our supportive community; see what a Mission: English class is like here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlZ0dlSbrSXhxuga9nOujvx6FL9LU22h7

    Wednesdays, 11AM-12:15PM New York, we hold a weekly small group class, practicing using a text to practice all aspects of pronunciation.

    And you're invited!

    If you're interested in American English, sounding natural, and finding ways to express yourself like native speakers, this is the weekly class for YOU!

    You'll practice saying phrases, get feedback to learn which sounds/parts of pronunciation to target, and hear native and nonnative examples to know what to do/what to avoid

    And if that interests you, register here: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=21550696&appointmentType=73697867
