How to perfect your American accent really fast.

You clicked on this video because you want to learn how to perfect your American accent in a short amount of time.

In today's video, I'm going to show you exactly a few simple steps

that can honestly change the way you speak for good.

And most of all, adapt and learn how to speak like an American.

Gang, welcome back to another episode of English with Collins.

In today's video, we're going to be focusing on this specific thing.

We're going to be focusing on the vowel sounds.

Today, I'm not going to talk too much.

I'm just going to show you the vowel sounds and how the vowel sounds plays a major role,

especially when it comes to speaking clearly.

A lot of people don't know that English is made up of two different things.

We have consonants and we have vowels.

If you can master these two, you can speak clearly.

You go to school and your teachers are teaching you grammar.

They're teaching you every single other aspect of pertaining to English.

But rarely do we see our teachers focusing on pronunciation.

And so that is my major focus is because I want you to become the best at speaking,

especially when it comes to,

you know, you know, bringing out whatever it is that is at the back of your mind.

I want you to be able to articulate your thoughts so well.

And by doing so, that is the reason why we're doing this practice today.

Before we begin today's video,

here's what I want you to do.

I want you to go ahead and comment down this specific phrase.

This year is my year and I am going to become excellent at speaking English.

Let's say it again.

This year is my year and I am going to become excellent at speaking English.

I want you to comment that down inside of the description right now.

Let's jump right in.

Okay, so we have five major vowel sounds, right?

So the English language is comprised of five major vowel sounds.

We have the A, the E,

the I, the O, and the U.

These sounds is what makes up the American English language, right?

So when every time you're hearing someone speak English,

the vowel sounds is absolutely included.

Now, there's a major difference between how Americans pronounce their vowel sounds versus other parts of the world.

And so what I'm really going to focus on today is how Americans pronounce the following sounds.

So let's start off with A sound itself.

Americans don't pronounce the A as an ah.

For example, you will see a word like cot.

Americans don't say cot.

They say cat.

So the A has a slanted sound to it.

It's sort of like an A mixed with an E sound.

Ah, so cat, right?

Another example, hat.

And of course, bad.

So that sound remains consistent in almost every single sound that features the A.

So before me, I have 10 different words.

All right, 10 different words featuring the A sound.

And I want you to go ahead and repeat right after me step by step.

Starting with the very first.

Cat.

Hat.

hat hat hat map map map black black black

fast fast fast bag bag bag

hand hand hand laugh laugh laugh

family family family answer answer answer so

if you paid very close attention you will notice

that the a sound is very consistent you hear the a

sound throughout all of these words starting with cat to hat

to map to black fast bag hand laugh family answer the a sound is very consistent

so what i want you guys to do is register

that at the back of your mind all right

so remember it's not pronounced as ah it's a a now

let's take a look at these two sentences for practice we

have the cat ran past the black bag the cat ran

past the black bag let's try it again the cat ran past the black bag.

The cat ran past the black bag.

Now for the second one,

before I read it, we're going to take a pause.

I'm going to give you the next five seconds to read that.

Let's go.

One, two, three, four, five.

Excellent.

The second sentence is, my family had a fast plan.

My family had a fast plan.

Number one, the cat ran past the black bag.

The cat ran past the black bag.

Number two, my family had a fast plan.

My family had a fast plan.

Now let's take a look at this paragraph and we're going to read it together.

Remember the A sound is very consistent.

Let's go.

Last Saturday, I packed a black bag and grabbed my hat before leaving the house.

My family laughed because I was moving so fast and forgot the map on the table.

One more time.

Last Saturday, I packed a black bag and grabbed my hat before leaving the house.

My family laughed because I was moving so fast and forgot the map on the table.

Excellent.

All right, that is it for the A sound.

If you want to learn more and you want to practice more,

100

I have created a pronunciation course.

The link is down below.

102

103

106

you will be so good,

107

especially when it comes to speaking.

108

All right, let's take a look at the second sound.

109

The second sound is the E sound.

110

The E sound.

111

The E sound, I've noticed that a lot of people don't have problems pronouncing it,

112

but if you do have a problem pronouncing it,

113

I'm going to show you.

114

The E sound in the American accent, it's very short.

115

It's quick it's fast sound sound it's a very fast paced sound

116

so we have bed red said that's the e sound right the e sound has

117

that sound bed red right

129

Remember the A in bag.

130

131

We're bringing the same sound.

132

133

134

The paragraph.

135

Let's read it together.

136

My best friend said he was ready.

137

So I got dressed quickly and left the room.

138

139

140

My best friend said he was ready,

141

so I got dressed quickly and left the room.

I checked the bed one last time and grabbed the red jacket before heading out.

143

Incredible.

144

All right, that is it for the E sounds.

145

Let's move on to the following sound.

146

This is the I sound.

147

The I sound is as quick as the E sound,

148

so it's a fast-paced E sound.

149

So the E is an E sound.

150

The I is an E sound,

151

such as sit, big, and live, right?

152

That's how it works.

153

Let's move on to the following words.

154

Okay, I made a few couple of mistakes there,

174

175

I want you to pronounce the I sound in the vowel very, very well, okay?

176

Let's jump on to the following.

177

So now we have the O sound.

178

The O sound is also a little bit different.

179

The O sound gets a little bit tricky

180

because a lot of people don't know how to pronounce this

181

the O sound in in the American accent has a sound sound, like A-W-W sound.

182

AH.

183

So that's how Americans pronounce it.

184

They don't say hot.

185

They say hot.

186

AH.

187

Hot.

188

You see?

189

O has an AH sound.

The U sound.

212
