Many non-native speakers are given the advice to "slow down." This video addresses why this advice is not as practical as it sounds. Instead, Rebecca Linquist demonstrates breathing and clustering techniques that allow anyone to speak with more natural patterns and be understood immediately.

  • I'm irish living in the US, people think im from russia...

  • @SaintMichael82 That's funny how accents can make you sound like you are from a different country at times ... usually the "Russian" assumption has to do with strong voicing.

  • @rebeccalinquist yeah I do have a strong voicing I'd say... I have some videos uploaded on my site of me. Maybe you can tell me what could I do better to sound more American?

  • @SaintMichael82 If you'd like a Coach to contact you to assess your speech and show you our program, just visit our website (at the end of all the videos), and I'll arrange it for you. (I can't post the URL in You Tube for some reason, but it is at the end of every video.

  • @mahera97 You can still taking Coaching via the internet - live in person sessions recorded in video - similar to Skype, but we use WebEx and provide it to you ... you can schedule a consultation with no obligation so we can give you some feedback on your speech - you can talk to a Coach and decide if the program is right for you. Just visit the Englishbythehour website, and a Coach will contact you.
