Amazing secret of English rhythm:

The trick to getting the rhythm of English right is all to do with the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables when we talk. We speak in a pattern of iambs - an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. Speech that reflects this natural rhythm feels like music to our ears. When speech does not reflect this rhythm, it is difficult to understand and sounds unpleasant to native speakers.

Pronunciation Technique For People with a monotone voice:

It's not always easy for Asian speakers of English to show emotion in their voices. It may be difficult to have the same tonal range that native speakers of English have, due to the English language having a different use of tone to Asian languages such as Mandarin.

In English tone is used to convey feelings. A single word can have many different interpretations, depending on the tone. Not understanding nor applying tone can make the English speech of Asians appear to be without emotion and if monotone, hard to understand.

3 Techniques to Change your Accent with Jade Joddle:

Awareness - Having awareness of your speech means that you are able to observe the way you speak. You can train yourself to become aware of your speech so that you notice aspects of speech that you want to change. Awareness also means that you are able to observe the way other people speak. Importantly, awareness doesn't mean being critical of what you observe. You observe like a scientist, not a judge.

Modelling - Find someone whose accent or style of speech you like, for example a famous person. You then start listening very closely to the way they speak. Apply your awareness training here so that you can really notice what you like about the way this person speaks. You can then incorporate what you like about their speaking style into your own speech. 


Change Sounds - When working to change your accent, you don't always need to change every single sound. There may be just one or two sounds you need to change to soften your accent. When you know about the phonemes and sounds of English you can then research the sounds you want to change. Having knowledge of phonemes will save you time as you work to change your accent. It also means that when observing the speech of yourself and others you can precisely identify what you are listening to at the level of individual sounds. When you know what your problem sounds are, you can then research these sounds and how to say them correctly in your chosen accent.

3 Important Keys to Speaking Properly - Accent, Performance, and Articulation of Speech.

We do not need to completely change our accents in order to speak properly. It is possible to speak in a more refined and sophisticated way by making small adjustments to the content as well as sound of your speech.

Speech Content - your speech should be timelessly elegant like a little black dress. This means that you avoid trendy words, slang and local expressions because this kind of language does not travel well and dates very quickly.

Articulation - you should take care to enunciate clearly. To do this it is important that you move your mouth sufficiently without mumbling your words.

Accent - you don't need to change your whole accent in order to give the impression of speaking properly. However, you can target key sounds in your accent that are perceived to be 'strong'. To do this you first research the features of your accent - find out what sounds you say currently say differently. You may find that there are just a couple of sounds that you don't like in your pronunciation, which you want to change. Once you have identified the sounds that you don't like in your pronunciation you can focus your attention on changing the way you say these sounds specifically. This will soften your accent, rather than change it completely.

Speech Performance - you should 'own your voice'. When you own your voice it means that you speak in a way that is appropriate for the situation; you are neither too quiet nor too loud. You also speak at a comfortable pace so that other people can understand you. The ability to do this reflects that you have confidence in yourself and that you deserve to be listened to.

How to get a clear accent:

When you have good clarity of speech it means that people can understand you well, whatever your accent. If you find that people don't understand you easily, it might not be a problem with your accent. In fact, your problem may be that you lack clarity of speech. When you do not speak clearly it is hard for other people to understand you.

People sometimes have a problem with clarity of speech because they speak too quickly. They are not giving the tongue enough time to reach the mouth position needed to make the sound. It may also be because your tongue is lazy or unfit and needs some exercise.
Try this speech exercise to improve the clarity of your speech.
1. Begin by warming up the tongue and sticking it out and around in different directions.
2. Make some sounds while your tongue is sticking out.
3. Stick out your tongue and count to 20 while your tongue is sticking out.
4. Keep your tongue out and say fruit names as you count to 20. For example, 1 bananna, 2 papaya, 3 orange...

How to learn English FAST:

Everyone is looking for the secret of how to learn English fast. Of course we want to achieve our goals in the fastest possible way but that often means that we run out of energy along the way. What we need to find out is the fastest and best way to reach our goals. This allows us to succeed and reach the finishing line.

When you strain and push yourself to reach a goal you will often give up without ever reaching your goal. I'm of the opinion that a slow and steady approach to reaching your goals is a lot more effective.

When it comes to learning a language, you have to be realistic. You are not going to be able to learn English overnight. You have to become patient as you work towards your English goals. One way to do this is by establishing a daily English practice. This means that you set aside 20 minutes of every day to do some English pracitce or study. You do this without question every day - the same way that you brush your teeth every day in the morning. It needs to be automatic.

You can be more effective in your English practice if the thing that you're working on is already prepared before you sit down and study. This stops you wasting time looking for something to do.

The thing you practise should be based on the skills you most need to improve. For example, if you need to improve your listening skills, listen to an English learner's podcast everyday. You could also subscribe to an English teacher on YouTube and watch one of their lessons every day.

It's a good idea to stick with your routine for one month before you change it. Over the period of a month, your daily practise accumulates to be a significant amount of time that you have given to developing your English. Over time you will see big improvements.

Making a daily English practice part of your life will also serve to make you a more disciplined person in general. This will serve to make you a stronger and more effective person overall.
