Have you ever been in a conversation and struggled to find the right word in English? It’s a common problem, especially in academic settings where the pressure is high. But don’t worry—finding the right word doesn’t have to be stressful!
Nataliia is an adult English learner from Ukraine. When we first met during a Level 1 class I was teaching in 2015, her English was limited, and had her speaking confidence was low. By the time we reconnected in the spring of this year, Nataliia's English had improved significantly. However, she still felt unsure about her pronunciation and wanted to have more confidence as she spoke English.
Technology offers practical options to help you improve your American English pronunciation and speaking skills. By using apps and websites, you can make the most of short practice sessions by focusing on the skills that matter most to you.

When speaking American English, knowing which words to stress and which to reduce can make a big difference in how well you’re understood. If you speak every word with the same emphasis, you might confuse your listener. Understanding how to stress content words and reduce function words can help make your speech sound clearer and more natural.
I help advanced English learners speak confidently and sound natural in American English. My students overcome communication challenges and learn to express themselves clearly at work or in the classroom, achieving their goals with ease.
