American Accent | When you just GET IT

You know that learning English and speaking  it well is vital to your success in work and  

life. That's why it was so important for me  to develop a technique to help students hear  

English differently so they could start  to make a real change in their accent. 

Let me show you the face of getting it. I'm  working with a student here in a live class. 

What time is it?

Yeah, wow. 

I call this the AHA face. She's just surprised  herself with how differently her spoken English  

sounded and felt.

What time is it? 

Yeah, wow. I mean it's so smooth and the rhythm  is so good and I can tell that you're like,  

holy smokes, like what did you hear? Yeah, I can feel that it's very  

different from the first time I said it.

For Jada and for so many of my students, it  

all boils down to simplicity and speed. We have to  simplify mouth movements and say certain syllables  

extremely quickly to get the right rhythm of  American English. And when the rhythm's there,  

the linking falls into place connecting  the words together smoothly in a way that  

sounds natural and is very easy to understand.

I've developed a set of courses for you to help  

you hear English differently so you can speak it  naturally and effortlessly. You'll have those AHA  

moments where it feels different in your body.  Everything relaxes into developing your American  

voice and you'll speak English more naturally  than you ever have before, I guarantee it.

the last week we're taking new students. I want  you to reach your English-speaking goals but you  

have to get in there now. Next week, you'll  only be able to join a wait list and I'm not  

totally sure when we'll start new signups again. When you join the academy right away from day one,  

you're going to be doing the work, the Play  it, Say it method. Everyday, you're doing the  

work that will change everything. We sprinkle in  theory, recording exercises, valuable teaching,  

live classes but the core is the Play it, Say  it method and we won't let you waste one day  

not doing the work. Our program is hyper focused  on ease of use. I don't want you to lose even one  

minute of training to wondering what to work  on next. This is the one place, the last place  

you'll go to get the information and training  you need to develop your own American Voice. 

We have courses that have an in-depth training  of every sound of American English. You'll see  

inside the mouth, you'll see up close slow motion  words with these sounds. But most importantly  

you'll have audio training soundboards to  find the new sound physically and lock it  

into your body and habit. In that process you'll  check in with our teachers to make sure you're  

nailing it and building the right habit. We have courses that go over the linking  

and smoothness of American English. All the  reductions, like changing the phrase salt  

and pepper to salt and pepper. More natural,  more smooth, Easier to say with relaxation.

I've taken pronunciation courses in Sau Paulo,  in a lot of different schools in London even  

at Harvard summer school and I guarantee, no  other pronunciation course has brought me as  

many good results and as much enthusiasm  to practice because it's interesting. 

And I can say this Academy has been my life saver  and I'm very happy to be here and the teachers are  

so encouraging and very expert and um, they  can correct my mistakes in the most specific  

way so I could I can just change my habit.

So, in the time I've spent working with Rachel’s  

English Academy, I have seen a huge improvement  with my pronunciation. The way I speak English,  

the way I understand English and the way  I feel the language just feels completely  

different now than it felt just a few months  ago before I started working with the Academy. 

What Rachels really taught me was confidence  and again this is so important when you are  

teaching the language. My favorite thing  about the Academy? Well, that's a tough. One,  

Ben Franklin exercises, yes. They're so good I  mean the videos are so good. The repetition in  

the video makes you internalize the content while  you're watching it which is a pretty good thing. 

So guys, if you really want to have an American  accent, I highly recommend Rachel English is  

the best online pronunciation course to study.

An academy member has access to a huge amount  

of content. here are courses covering every topic  in American English pronunciation. From placement,  

to all the sounds, rhythm, linking, stress and  more. Even better, I've just created a brand  

new learning path through the Academy content  that will guide you step by step through each  

new concept in the best order for maximized  improvement. Or if there's a specific concept  

that you know is your personal challenge, we  have libraries of content you can work with to  

make progress on your own. By watching a video,  you'll get information about a concept. But this  

Academy is about so much more than information.  It's about learning with your body so you can  

create new habits and actually make real progress.  So even though the Academy has over 600 videos,  

the real change happens with our thousands of  audio files. And I give you the perfect method  

to use for this work. The Play it, Say it method.  The Play it, Say it method is all about repetition  

and as you play the files over and over, your  ear starts to tell your body what changes to  

make without your brain doing anything or getting  in the way. It's called ‘Body Learning’ and it's  

scientifically proven to make a difference. Each course has audio soundboards for you to  

practice with so you can experience this  body learning on every sound and concept.  

There is an enormous amount of content  here but the content is only half of what  

you get with an Academy subscription. You also get access to our teachers.  

Every student gets to join our  private community where you can  

post a video and get teacher feedback.

Hi Ruslan, good work here on your module  

six challenge. Let's go through your video  and I'll give you some feedback as we go. 

Evolve, cousin, done. So, you're close. 

Hi Muhammad, welcome to the Academy, thank you for  taking time to introduce yourself. My big piece of  

advice to everyone who's new in the Academy  is to take advantage of the slow motion on  

the soundboards. So when you go to practice,  start with Play it, Say it in slow motion. 

Hey Victor, it's Katie here with some feedback  for you. Awesome job working on this conversation  

and overall, I'm really hearing that  linking it sounds smooth and connected. 

So maybe, you're working on a sound or  working on rhythm. A teacher is going  

to listen to you and give you personalized  adjustments that will help you sound more  

natural and take the effort out of speaking. We also have drop-in hours with our teachers  

every week. You can join the online classroom,  type your question in the chat and a teacher will  

address your question in real time. You can even  turn on your camera and work with the teacher to  

make sure you're fully understanding the teaching. I move into the UR, so my tongue will lift for  

that UR.

Hear 

That's it. Here, Mmhm. Right. So what the difference  

with the word hear like to hear something. It's the same sound. It's just spelled  

differently. H-e-a-r versus h- e-r-e  like I hear a sound, here in my room.
