Episode notes
Prioritize Natural Pronunciation
- Focus on natural English pronunciation, not just mimicking a native accent.
- Learn rhythm, stress, intonation, and connected speech to speak clearly and confidently.
Master Connected Speech
- Use connected speech by blending sounds, like "part of the job" sounding like "par hofthe job."
- Practice glottal stops, such as in "put" becoming "pu'" to sound more natural in British English.
Use Pauses and Stress Naturally
- Notice natural pauses for effect, like pausing after "that's the" in "that's the third time."
- Speed up non-stressed parts while stressing key words for authentic rhythm.
