I love this course. It helps me better understand and pronounced the different sounds of the american english pronunciation.
A very helpful and insightful course to learn the articulation and usage of American Consonants. I enjoyed this course a lot. Thank you, tutors, and peers.
I am really grateful for this experience. Especially, Miss Meg Parker for her clear instructions and Miss Marla Yoshida and Helen Nam for their fun practices.
The first few weeks were very good, I got it right now, the last two were a little more complicated. I did not understand the symbols that the sounds represent.
