Let's do a deep dive and learn about the American accent. This is a step by step process to help you emulate the accent and sound like you're from the US. As we go through each step, practice and say the words/sentences out loud in order to develop your overall speaking fluency. You're going to use reductions, distinct sounds, connected speech, emphasis, and much more to sound just like me. /// JOIN OUR EMAIL COMMUNITY Get lesson updates & access the Secret Fluency Lesson /// SUPPORT INTERACTIVE ENGLISH YouTube Member: Patreon: Facebook Subscriber: /// CHECK OUT THESE OTHER GREAT LESSONS Binomial Expressions: Useful English Idioms: Awesome Phrasal Verbs: Advanced Vocabulary: Advanced Grammar: Improve Your Speaking: /// PRACTICE & IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH Audiobooks (Free Trial): Grammarly: **Links to Audible and Grammarly are affiliate links.
