Speaking English is tough! Native speakers use smooth, natural rhythm to link the sounds of American English. Even for students who test as Fluent in English, learning how to speak English is quite a challenge. But I’m here to help you! In this speaking English training video I’ll show you how to drop the D sound in more than 100 common English words. Pronunciation in American English is often surprisingly different from what’s on the page! Speaking English more fluently requires knowledge AND lots of practice. I’ll give you both in this training video! You’ll see how and when to drop the D sound when you’re speaking and you’ll also see lots of examples of Americans speaking English so that you can solidify your learning. It’s true: speaking English is tough. But with my help you’ll be sounding more and more like a native speaker in no time! Let’s get started.
