Hey this is Emma from mmmEnglish!
I'm super excited that you're here and that you're
spending some time with me today
to improve your English.
In this lesson we're going to be doing some more
speaking skills practice
and in particular, we're going to be practising
with the mmmEnglish Imitation Technique
which is one of the most effective ways
to reduce your accent and to fix
your pronunciation problems so that you speak
more clearly and confidently in English.
And it's effective because it teaches you to listen
to the sounds and the patterns of English
and trains you to produce those same sounds yourself
through repetition and controlled practise.
You're training your mouth with your ears
by listening to the sounds and imitating them
rather than training your mouth with your eyes
by reading and guessing the pronunciation
and the rhythm of words on a page.
Now if you haven't done a lesson like this before,
don't worry, it's really simple and I'm going to explain
each step for you so that you know
exactly what you need to do.
You just need to get ready to speak out loud with me.
If you're new to my channel
or new to the Imitation Technique,
I've got some courses available via the
mmmEnglish website to help you practise this way
and you can find out more about them up here
or I've added the link in the description below.
To practise with the Imitation Technique, there's just
three simple steps that you need to follow.
The first one is, well you just need to listen to what I say
and read the words on the screen as I say them.
Next, you'll be listening to what I say
but then there'll be a pause so that you can repeat
what I said.
You need to copy me exactly as you hear me.
This step, you can do again and again and again
until you sound or you think you sound exactly as I do.
And it's okay to practise many times
before you move on to the third step.
You can even slow down the speed
so that you can practise a little more slowly
before stepping up to regular pace
because step three is a challenge,
even for a native English speaker.
You're going to be listening to me and saying
