I have watched a few videos on this subject and you are the only one who knows how to teach pronounciation...you are the only one that mentions that brain to tongue/brain to lips connections need to be modified

[@DENTISTROOM]

Wow amazing

[@Clearenglishcoach]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@doli193]

Thank you very much. These exercises are very helpful!!! Now I understand why I have an accent and still can't reduce it.

[@Clearenglishcoach]

Hello Yulia, You are right. Your muscles need to be strong to coordinate differently to speak English. Good luck. Do them daily. Cheers, Donna

[@javeriazeeshan1358]

Thank you so much for delivering so clearly and also elaborating how each sound is related to the said exercises. I am trying to help my 4 year old speech delayed daughter. I hope this will help her.

[@Clearenglishcoach]

You're so welcome! She learns by watching, so make sure to have her watch you use your lips and tongue when you speak. Encourage her to repeat words several times.

[@TreeBoLaZul]

Make more videos please. They are very helpful

[@Clearenglishcoach]

I'm glad they are helpful. Yes, I will be posting more pronunciation videos. Cheers, Donna

I'm glad you found it helpful. My non-native English speakers make the most progress improving their pronunciation when they practice these exercises to help them become conscious of their tongue movements.

[@alyviabush4723]

Would this also help with southern accent reduction?

[@Clearenglishcoach]

Hi Alyvia, I'm not sure about that. I have a Southern accent, though I try to neutralize it when I teach. Thanks for your comment.

[@somayehjalali8689]

that was excellent, but it was way better if you could use one word for each sound like T that we could hear it

[@Clearenglishcoach]

Thank you. That's a great suggestion. I go into more word practice with my digital course. I try to keep these short and direct. I hope you'll watch my other videos. If you need more pronunciation help, schedule a call to talk with me HERE. calendly.com/clearenglishcoach/zoom-phone-call

[@Clearenglishcoach]

Awesome thank you!

[@ruhulamin_BUET]

thank for upload this

[@Clearenglishcoach]

Hi Ruhul, thanks.

[@lukelai7954]

For the exercise in 7:30, whenever I try to move the back of tongue down, the tip of tongue goes up and leaves the lower teeth. I have been practicing this for 1 week and try to keep the tip of tongue touching the lower teeth and make it stay there, but I can’t help but moving the tip of tongue go up. Is there any way to fix my problem? Or maybe some people are just too clumsy with their tongue and it can not be fixed? Thanks a lot.

[@Clearenglishcoach]

Hi Luke, Moving the back of your tongue down is one of the hardest exercises. Hold the tip of your tongue with your finger so it doesn't pull back. You want the front to be strong enough to push against your teeth, while moving the back of your tongue down. Do 5 BIG yawns in the morning and evening with your tongue touching your front teeth. That's the same movement you want to achieve. Make sure to use a mirror, so your brain can find that part of your muscle. Glad you found the exercise. Thanks for you comment. Cheers, Donna

[@walterwhite5578]

Hi, Where I can the find the work book you mentioned.
