EP11 - Learning English from a Non-native English Speaker

AccentOutLoud

Non-native English speakers teach English across the globe to other non-native English speakers. And there's nothing wrong with that. The question I have is whether there are additional criteria or training to target native English speech production. Without a model to appropriately imitate or follow, learning a native English accent can be a challenge because the speech patterns and nuanced prosody are lost or not fully communicated.

Hopefully, I can shed more light on the topic once I get a space set up for video production! I am hyped to get it all set up!

About the Show: AccentOutLoud is your weekly source for English communication, insights, experimentation, and inspiration. Every Thursday (and sometimes more) I'll share my personal take on English communication, tips of English communication and what I think is important in clear communication. If you have an interest in improving your English communication, learning a speech-language pathologist's perspective on the field, or just want a uniquely interesting podcast, you're sure to find something useful in each episode. It's my hope that you'll become a fan and gain a better appreciation and understanding of what is involved in your accent as a result!
