💥American English Pronunciation - Master American Accent. Part 2💥

Hello guys, today we’re gonna be talking  about tricks to IMPROVE your American accent. 

I'll give you some tips that you would  probably not study with your English teacher.  

This video will help you sound more  American and improve your pronunciation. 

English is my second language, and I've been learning it for several years, and I've never  

lived in the US. Since I've heard American Accent for the first time, I totally fell in love with  

it. The reason why I picked out American English is because I enjoy American culture,  

their music, Hollywood movies, you know, when I was watching and listening to American content,  

I just wanted to sound like a native speaker. And I practiced my accent, and I'm still doing it. 

Now I ll share with you the tricks that  will help you to master the American Accent. 

Trick number 1. Use phrasal verbs Americans do not use academic verbs on a day to  

day basis, Instead of saying Leave, they say Get out, instead of saying accept, they say take on 

Or for example Americans would never say something like… My car stopped working.  

They would say – My car broke down. So use phrasal verbs as much as possible.

Trick number 2. Phrases only Americans use. If you wanna sound more American,  

it’s important to use Vocabulary that  is used by Americans and avoid the  

expressions that are used only by the British. For instance, Americans always use Take out  

instead of take away when they buy some food at the restaraunt and they want to take it home. 

I have a couple of videos about vocabulary differences between American English and  

British English, I'll leave all the  links in the description box below

Trick number 3. Contractions with Will Americans use contractions all the time,  

and there’re two ways to pronounce them – in a clear way and in a very relaxed way 

So, You will. You can say  You'll in a clear way "youuuul".

and "yull". It's pronounced in  a very relaxed way.

Let’ read them together: we'll have, they'll have, you’ll have. Well done! 

It's okay to say we will have and they will have, but we want to sound a little bit more natural,  

so we use them in a natural  way: you'll, we'll have, they'll have.

Let’s move on to the next trick. 4. Linking Consonant+ a Vowel. 

Let’s listen to the sentence. He's at home. He's at home.

We don’t say He’s at home. We say He’s at home. What about this sentence? 

She wore an exciting dress.  She wore an exciting dress. 

These two sentences have a  consonant and then a vowel. 

And when we’re speaking quickly, the words are linking together and it makes us sound  

more natural and more American. If you want more tricks about  

American pronunciation, watch my video – How to improve your American accent.

And the last tip for today is 5. Practicing with Native Teachers. 

I’ve been learning English on my own, but once I had classes with an experienced  

professional native teacher from the United States, 

and she helped me to improve my speaking skills so much, because she pointed out  

my every single mistake and some sounds that I should work on, that was really good for me. 

So if you wanna get a native-like pronunciation and master your American accent, try to find  

a teacher, a coach, a native speaker who would help you and correct your mistakes. 

When we speak we don’t hear ourselves and when we listen to ourselves speaking on a recording  

or the video we can hear so many things and it’s very important to have someone  

who knows more that you do and who can notice your just a little inaccuracy.

Ok I've told you exactly what I did  to in improve my American accent.
