[@WillBeUnknownToYou]

I have a really hard time pronouncing “February”

[@speakmoreclearly1]

Hi, Yes it's a difficult word for many speakers including people whose first language is English! For the British 'standard' accent it is /ˈfeb.ru.ər.i/ -said: 'Febroouhree ' For the American /ˈfeb.ru.ər.i/ - said: 'Febroouhree' also. For Australian some say 'Febreree' , and some say the same as the British or American. Go with the most common one! It takes a bit of repetition to get it so your mouth gets used to the sequence of movements. Maybe have it as your word of the week and say it 10 times each day. Esther

Hi, there are many accents in English. By definition you can't speak any language without an accent. If you change your pronunciation in English you are also changing your accent. Any time you modify vowel sounds it will change the way you speak/sound and therefore, will change your accent. Esther is speaking with an Australian accent in the video but we also provide training for the British accent and American accent. Check out our website: www.speakmoreclearly.com/ for more information. Have a great day :)
