In this video I show you accent training exercises that you can use to pronounce three of the most difficult consonant clusters in American English: -sks, -sts and -sps. These consonant clusters come at the ends of words and are an important part of learning English. With this American accent training video I’ll show you exactly how to pronounce each of these clusters, and I’ll also give you multiple example words and sentences. Practicing it slowly, over-and-over, you will incorporate these sounds into your accent as you’re learning English and you’ll sound more and more like native speakers. You’ll be learning English the way native speakers do: by listening to yourself repeat each sound and sentence, and then making subtle corrections to your accent based on my teaching. American accent training in this format will help your pronunciation of these three consonant clusters—you’ll sound more like a native English speaker. Combinations of consonant sounds are an important part of the process when you’re learning English. I’ll help you get these three sounds just right, leading to you feel more confident when you’re in conversations. An American English accent is made of individual sounds, made consecutively and together. Here you’ll get training on one of the most challenging sounds in American English: the Stop-T. Words ending in –sts include the Stop-T sound and I’ll show you exactly how to pronounce it! Non-native speakers have found a lot of help with the Stop-T using this method. American accent training needs to include many of these stop-consonants and in this video you’ll learn (and train!) on native speakers’ use of stop consonants and can mimic my voice as you do so. When you study and train on how to make each sound in the sequence your accent begins to sound more natural and smooth! Learning English with this American accent training video will help you improve your confidence with three tricky consonant clusters and show you how to conceptualize these sounds and also how to train your accent to sound more native. You can master these American English sound combinations and grow your skills!
