193 - Three different ways to pronounce CC in English

193 - Three different ways to pronounce CC in English

I've noticed a pronunciation mistake that many students make when they say words like "succeed" and "successful."

There are actually 3 different ways to pronounce CC in English! Today we're going to practice saying 26 words with CC. Listen and try to repeat after me.

Listening and repeating - like you did in today's lesson - is one of the best ways to improve your pronunciation! With time and practice, your pronunciation will get closer to a native English speaker's.

I've created two courses to help you practice your pronunciation: the American English Pronunciation Course and Shadowing with Shayna.

I recommend taking them together, because the Pronunciation course focuses more on individual sounds, and in Shadowing with Shayna you can practice whole phrases/sentences. Both of them include an evaluation at the end, where you can record your speaking and I'll comment on your pronunciation!

010 - 60 Common English Collocations with DO and MAKE

These two words can be confusing, but I’ll teach you the difference – and teach you 60 common collocations with example sentences to help you! Use DO for actions, obligations, and repetitive tasks. Use MAKE for creating or producing something, and for actions you choose to do. DO generally refers to the action itself, and MAKE usually implies that there is a result/product. For example, if you “make breakfast,” the result is an omelet! If you “make a suggestion,” you have created a recommendation.
