3 Secrets to Clear, Confident English
Do you often understand English in writing, but struggle with fast spoken English? Do you feel pressured to speak fast because others are?This lesson is designed for intermediate and advanced English learners who want to improve both pronunciation and listening comprehension. Your goal: clear, confident English.
In this lesson, you’ll practice shadowing (immediate repetition) and mirroring (pausing to repeat) by listening to a short interview between two American English speakers: me and a colleague, Joseph Poulshock. Together, we break down:
• Stress and rhythm
• Intonation patterns
• Connected speech
You’ll listen, repeat, and read along as we break the language down and then build it back up. This helps you recognize patterns more easily when English is spoken at a natural pace.
You’ll also hear insights from Joseph, a reading specialist and founder of ReadOasis.com, about productive ways to approach difficult texts—so you’re not just improving pronunciation, but also reflecting on how you read and process English.
This lesson supports clearer speech, stronger listening skills, and more confident communication.
