In this accent reduction lesson, I work with Nitish, a student from India, to practice word stress in common boys’ and girls’ names and review the flap T (that quick “d” sound you hear in words like "water" and "city").
I'll help you learn how to:
✔ Say the correct stress pattern in common names
✔ Improve your listening and your ability to hear stressed syllables
✔ Sound clearer and more confident in American English
Ideal for intermediate and advanced learners who want to reduce their accent in American English.
Follow Nitish's journey! Will we get to vowel and consonant sounds as well as intonation and linking? Yes! A lot of fun pronunciation activities are coming up as well as we start to put everything together.
