  • The instructor has a fairly strong "Michigan" or Great Lakes accent. She's really hitting those "o"s an "a"s in that nasaly-whiney way they do there!

    She shouldn't be teaching anyone an accent, because she's definitely not American Standard. How funny. Those people will all sound like a housewife from Detroit. lol

  • @Jeffredo729 how exactly do you define the american accent? is there really a standard?

  • Amazing teacher. Fun video and very relaxed environment. I believe Einstein one said I don't teach m students but provide them with an environment to learn in.

  • are u in PA ?

  • i love this,i wish you were in my state,i'd attend the classes.

  • It's true. I noticed it as a Michigander. That said, our accent isn't so strange that it shouldn't be taught when English is taught as a second language. Our accent is easily closer to standard American than say a any Southern or East Coast accent. In fact, linguists have found that the accent around Toledo (just south of Detroit) is the most neutral variety of English, period, not just American English.

  • Great Video to watch and learn!

    I was impressed. Pronunciation was clear. Message was clear. Thank you. I was very proud to watch your video. I am an American Accent Reduction Specialist in Los Angeles with online classes, telephone classes, and classes in Los Angeles, Southern California, USA.

    I strongly recommend this video!

    Thanks

    Keep up the excellent work.
