If you want to sound more natural in American English, the truth is that you may be making consonant sounds too strong, exaggerating final syllables, blocking off breath and cutting off vowels, especially at the ends of words. Let's find out! Here are some exercises for practicing held t/stop t sounds in your American English pronunciation!
*
If you want to know what sounds you are mispronouncing in English, there is a FREE pronunciation test you can take (and get some free premium access too for extra practice) with ELSA: https://bit.ly/ELSAxFLUENTAMERICAN
To be clear: I've found ELSA to be great at specific, individual sounds (e.g., "lock" vs "luck", or "sit" vs "seat"); it struggles a bit more with sentence level reductions and stress. However, for a quick few minutes of practice on sounds you find difficult, I think you'll find ELSA helpful. Take advantage of the discount they've made for you above!

American English shadowing exercises are for people interested in expanding their American English accents, whether you are located in the US, North America, or other areas around the world. For the best use of shadowing exercises in American English, listen to a section of audio, pause, and repeat what you hear. Try to use the same pronunciation, intonation, stress, pitch patterns, and linking that you find native English speakers use; record yourself and compare the differences.

If you want to sound more natural in American English, pay attention to your syllables! By lengthening your stressed syllables, or at least making sure the unstressed syllables are faster and weaker, you may be shocked at how much more natural you sound!

If you want to listen to natural American English, the truth is that sometimes the language flows really fast--maybe too fast to understand at first! However, there are some techniques to make watching shows or listening to podcasts a little easier--without slowing down the speed. And, they may help you with your own pronunciation too!

This Saturday, I'm doing a livestream on the Fluent American youtube channel where I bring on students for ~10 minutes to work on an aspect of pronunciation of your choice!
If you'd like to book one of the few seats, visit https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=21550696&appointmentType=76356565
It's from 8-9:30AM New York, $10 for a seat. I'll take turns going from student to student individually so I can really focus on your need. It'd be great to see you there! Or you can watch for free on the channel.
Let me know if you have questions and I hope to see you!
If you want to sound more natural in American English, the truth is that you may not be pronouncing vowels in a way that gives you the most natural sound. Let's talk why!

If you want to know what sounds you are mispronouncing in English, there is a FREE pronunciation test you can take (and get some free premium access too for extra practice) with ELSA: https://bit.ly/ELSAxFLUENTAMERICAN
To be clear: I've found ELSA to be great at specific, individual sounds (e.g., "lock" vs "luck", or "sit" vs "seat"); it struggles a bit more with sentence level reductions and stress. However, for a quick few minutes of practice on sounds you find difficult, I think you'll find ELSA helpful. Take advantage of the discount they've made for you above!

Welcome to Wake Up American, where Monday through Friday, we spend a couple minutes on a challenging aspect of American English pronunciation and walk through examples to help you achieve a more natural sound the next time you speak in American English at work, at home, or out and about town.
