Nothing is more frustrating than not being understood! You know the words, you've studied the grammar, but people still can't understand you. Why? Your vowel sounds. Vowel sounds are the breath and soul of a language, and if you don't get them right, you will not be understood. It's that simple.

But once you master the American vowel sounds, your English will skyrocket! People will understand you more, your confidence will increase, and -- surprisingly -- you will also understand other people much better. Your ability to make the correct sounds will greatly improve your ability to hear them when others speak.

This course is designed for intermediate and advanced learners of English, but an ambitious beginner will also greatly benefit and get started on the right foot. Sound and meaning are integrated in a language, so it is extremely important to get your pronunciation right. Let Vowel Power® show you how.

What you will learn:

• How to correctly pronounce the 11 American vowel sounds.
• How to identify and correctly pronounce dipthongs (2 vowels together).
• How to identify the vowels Americans actually use--not what the spelling is!
• How to hear and use the rhythm and pacing of American English.

How you will learn:

• Videos are text-based, which means you can read along, and then close your eyes to review and practice. This will quickly develop your ear for the sounds and rhythm of American English.
• Key lessons are repeated in different ways, helping you to learn quickly.
• Go at your own pace. Pronunciation drills are used throughout the course, and you move forward quickly as you master each new lesson.
