I will show you where to place your tongue and also the vocal chord strategies needed to create American English sounds.

Do you know that most difficult sounds come from a vibration in the vocal chords?

Native speakers change the pitch of all vocal sounds for a wide variety of reasons.

If you said these words on Speaker Phone, would you be understood ?

live, life
reef, wreath
man, men
ladder, letter
bump, lump
their, where
ranch, rich
caller, color
