English--Naturally

WHAT TO EXPECT

​

Every class is designed to meet your specific needs. As your personal mentor, I will give you specific feedback on areas where you need or want improvement. 

​

In each class, we will speak English. I will listen to you speak to determine what sounds need to be improved. We will discuss the proper placement of your tongue, your jaw, and your lips, as well as the movement of air through your mouth. I will provide corrections and feedback on your pronunciation and speaking skills, and answer any questions you might have about anything we cover. By having conversations in English, you will improve your conversational skills.

​

It is important for you to practice pronunciation every day. The English language has more sounds than letters in the alphabet, and these sounds need to be constantly practiced until they become automatic. 

 

Recording yourself as you practice will help you hear the way you pronounce each sound. Sending me recordings of something you read or say will help me design exercises to improve your strengths and eliminate your weaknesses--and writing summaries of what you record will give you writing practice, as well as an increased understanding of what you read.
