How to SOUND Better in English! | Pronunciation Lesson

Communicating clearly in English requires clear pronunciation. In this advanced pronunciation lesson, I'll share my top five tips to help you improve your pronunciation so that you can SOUND BETTER in English!
Improving your pronunciation in English will help you to be understood when you speak English. It's SO IMPORTANT to becoming fluent in English.
Note: My video lessons are created to help English learners to improve their pronunciation and speaking skills. Please note that the pronunciation of some of these words differs between English accents. I speak with an Australian English accent 🙂

I just adore Emma. Learning a language takes time, dedication and guidance. These videos are very helpful. The material is presented in an entertaining way and in a logical sequence. Congratulations. Greetings from Panama.

[@nelsonohara3981]

I like your classes, because you speak calmly, which gives me confidence in learning English, especially defining my accent, following the script of today's class on "How to Sound Better in English", know that I am watching and listening several times this class, to correctly detect the sounds! It takes time, but persistence will lead me to victory! Thanks for your lessons!

[@massoodn9410]

Dear Emma years ago I took a SPEECH class to help me with my English, and to improve my communication skill. You are a perfect realization of what I learned in that class, such as eye contact, facial expression, etc.

[@federicolopez185]

Hi Emma, I have seen your videos and one of the greatest things that you have it's how you handle your language so perfectly. It's beautiful to hear you talking so correctly. It's the main thing a professor must do and the main thing to do in order to made their students loves the language. I have always thought that the world will go smoothly when people know their own grammar. Like Quijote said to Sancho: "those who want to rule islands, they should at least know grammar." Greetings from Uruguay again. And sorry for my English. I am learning in it.

Hello Emma, so I followed your channel a couple days ago, and I found it amazing to move to the next stage in my journey to improve my skills in English because I feel really comfortable with your pronunciation and your method also, on the other side I required you modestly to make a video in how to send professional email because in business English it's quite crucial to know how to write in right way an email. if you find this idea is brilliant don't hesitate to make it

[@saranyassamayal9005]

Hi Emma, I love your teaching very much. The way you are pronouncing is very clear. It's help me to improve my communication level

Hi Emma, your English lessons are great. I am learning a lot from your lessons. I am Tamil. Linguist think all the languages have originated from few hundreds roots words from Tamil. For example day to words like cup, work, cash, study,speech etc have Tamil origin. I have seen many Tamil words in other western languages . Many Thanks 🙏 Indra

I honestly feel that the US accent is easier to imitate, but the BRITISH and AUSTRALIAN sounds more elegant and sophisticated, anyway I desperately need to understand Australians because I will be in contact with them and not understand them or what they don't understand me, it's going to put me in trouble

[@mansig1794]

I subscribed your channel in may and have found it really helpful. Although I was not a dud in English but used to fumble quite a bit while interacting with others. Watching English movies, seasons, comedy shows and news has really helped me. I feel more comfortable while speaking English now. One thing that really brought a change in my communication skills is that now I speak a bit slow ( like you😊) which gives me an extra second to think.

Ahh, so it's an Australian accent. That's why I got confused. I heard a flapping t, which is a typical American thing, but also a non-rhotic r, which is a British thing (in my mind) later in the video. I need to increase my exposure to Australian accent :)
