Stop wasting time on "mouth gym" exercises! 🛑 If you want a clearer English accent, you don't need "stronger" muscles—you need better coordination and motor patterns.

In this video, I explain why oral motor exercises fail ESL learners and show you the most effective way to train your brain and mouth: Drills and Shadowing.

📽️ WHAT WE COVER TODAY

  • The Muscle Myth: Why "strength" isn't the problem for typically developing adults.
  • Placement Drills: How to find the correct "home base" for English sounds.
  • Word Practice: Transitioning from isolated sounds to real words.
  • Shadowing Practice: A real-time, follow-along session to improve your rhythm and intonation.

Why Shadowing? Shadowing is the "secret sauce" to bridging the gap between learning a sound and using it automatically in conversation.
