🎙️Is English your second or even third language? Do you have a hard time speaking up while in social situations, work environments or even talking to a friend for fear of not being understood? You are not alone in this feeling. In this episode of the podcast, Annie shares a mindset shift that YOU can make to speak English confidently as you set out in the world. Believe it or not, this doesn’t have anything to do with word stress, sentence stress or the many other pronunciation tips that we love to focus on. This comes down to believing in yourself. Knowing that you have accomplished a very hard thing by learning another language, and other people WANT to know what you have to share. So many times we are more focused on things we can’t control (what other people think, etc.) and not enough time focusing on what we can control (our mindset, etc.) Making this shift will change your life and open up so many possibilities that you are ready for in your life. This episode will help you get started.

17 Apr 2023 | 40. The English Gap | 00:18:07 | |
Do you feel like there is a gap between the amount of English you understand and the amount of English you can speak? This is what I call the English gap. Many times, we know what we want to say, but we don’t have the skillset to speak it out loud. There is a disconnect between our knowledge and our ability to express it to others. In this episode of the Pronunciation Pro Podcast, I explain why this disconnect happens and how you can fix it. Think of it like weight training. At the moment you decide you want to get stronger, there is a gap between the muscle you currently have and where you want to be. The only way to close that gap is to work out. It is the same with the English gap. You might not be where you want to be right now, but with time and practice, that gap will gradually close and you’ll be that much closer to your English goals. It’s not easy but with the proper training and guidance, you’ll see your English gap get smaller and smaller. Isn’t that what we are shooting for? The nice thing is, you don’t have to do it alone. In fact, doing it alone makes the process that much harder. We are here to support you! Sign up for my 7-day trial today and let me help you close the English gap and continue succeeding towards your goal of speaking English clearly and confidently. http://pronunciationpro.com/trial/ | |||

28 Feb 2022 | 5. What Is An Accent & How Do I Change Mine | 00:21:53 | |
Let's take the mystery out of the process of changing an accent. An accent is when you use the sounds and rhythms of your first language while speaking English To learn to speak English like a native speaker you have to learn to hear the difference between the way you say the sounds and rhythms of English and the way a native speaker uses them. Then you start the process of retraining your ear and mouth to move in this new way. The science is simple, the process takes time and repetition. But as you are patient with the process you'll have great success in transforming your spoken English. Want to know what is the difference between you and a native English speaker? We can help!
