Description
I've been teaching English for about 7 years (in international schools and in 1-on-1 classes) and have taught more than 7500 students. While my students are brilliant, time and time again students want to sharpen their English accent. Some of them want to move to a foreign company, and work in a foreign company. Some of them just want to socialize and listen and understand the world around them. Together, let's discuss the sounds that are challenging for Mandarin Chinese students and crack them wide open together.Review a list of sounds and how to resolve them, based on linguistic research. I've researched this matter for Mandarin speakers, and reviewed the key sounds, including taking input from my Chinese students.Studying Stressed Syllables and Words, showing you the sounds that make you sound native. This is actually a pretty big deal. While Chinese is a tonal language, English has a different kind of tones. Let's discuss how the tones work in a logical way, and thus where we get the tempo of English.Connected Speech allows us to shape various sounds to smooth out English sentences. This is a game changer, it allows us to take separate words and craft them in a flowing sentence that sounds like a human is speaking rather than a robot!Intonation allows us to change the pitch of our voice to add layers of meaning to our sentences. You might not want to use these 24/7 but it will add jetfuel to your comprehension, especially when you watch TV shows and movies. It will also allow you to pick up on sub-communication on phone calls and in business meetings.Shadowing is the key to master a new accent. Want to imitate native speakers? Let's learn how to do it together, then you can use a wide range of media to imitate and craft your perfect accent!
