PRONUNCIATION
THE WOW EFFECT
Am I wrong or have you been trying to speak a language with no sounds?
You have been studying English for years… Grammar, vocabulary, but what about PHONETICS?
If you’ve been wondering why you’re struggling to understand advanced or native speakers, why you’re having trouble on the phone or why you just couldn’t learn English, you’re about to find the answer.
And it is very simple.
If I ask you what’s the most important aspect (or maybe the only purpose of speaking) a language, you’ll probably answer: COMMUNICATION.
But how can you communicate efficiently if you have never been taught the first element you need to communicate: SOUNDS.
So let’s start with what should have been your
LESSON NUMBER 1 : A PRONONCIATION COURSE
WHAT TO EXPECT
Not only the way you speak but the way you listen.
And maybe more importantly, the way you are listened to.
And that’s THE WOW EFFECT
Sounds like excellent reasons to start learning phonetics, right?
I KNOW YOU have TONS OF QUESTIONS
What do you think is the most important: communication or correctness? If your number one priority is communication, then being understood is probably what should come first.
Your accent might be considered “just adorable” in some contexts. But do you believe your clients listening to you reporting figures are looking for sexy or clear?
Of course, it’s possible to be successful even with poor communication skills. But one thing is certain: if your accent doesn’t make you money, it probably cost you some.
Oh really… What methods of accent-reduction have you tried?
So let’s learn phonetics together and you’ll see…
Phonetics is about studying sounds. Sounds are the chromosomes of the language, the bits of communication. It is the root of all and of all your problems…
Phonetics is to language teachers what German is for French-speaking Swiss and English for French. Everybody’s familiar with it but nobody has ever really made it a priority. Same for students. Up until that first job interview…
Of course!
Results depends on your native language, how many other languages you speak, your age, your hearing capacities, if you’re a musician or a dancer etc… But yes everyone improves. You’ll even get a proof of it.
I know! I agree!
