American Accent Training: Native Chinese 7 week program
The ability to communicate effectively is vital in today’s globalized world. As an American accent coach working with many native Chinese speakers, I’ve learned some of the most common challenges and error patterns that Native Chinese speakers make with English pronunciation. It is important to note that the way you previously learned English pronunciation is not the same way you learn to work on your accent. Conversational American English has a very smooth and fluid sound. In order to speak more fluidly and reduce your accent, which is the ultimate goal, you will need to modify some of the things you have been previously taught.
7 weeks to a Better American Accent for Native Mandarin speakers, volume 1 has a 70 page workbook with 16 Audio tracks, published by Sovereign Language press. The Audio tracks and workbook are designed to work together which will enhance the student’s ability to apply the material in everyday situations. Each of the 16 tracks and workbook is arranged by weeks, so by the end of the 7th week, the student has completed the first volume of the series. Here is the information that is contained in the first volume:
1. How to Master Intonation (the rhythm & flow) of the American English language
2. How to correctly pronounce American consonants & vowels
3. Learn top methods to improve voice projection
4. Perfect the use of stress patterns in words
5. Top methods for vocabulary building
6. Discover secrets of using American idiomatic expressions
7. Tips on speaking more spontaneously
Changing some of your old habits takes time and dedication, but as you start learning you will begin to sound more natural. There are several phases which will take place in this process. Initially, you will learn new sounds and get familiar with the rhythm and flow of speech. This initial phase of learning to hear new sounds and to discriminate which English sounds are difficult is critical. Learning how to hear these sounds correctly will help you tremendously with your English pronunciation.
After the initial phase, you will learn how to apply these principles in words, short phrases, and gradually sentences. Finally, as you continue these new habits will start to automatically transfer in your everyday speech.
