239 - English Pronunciation Tip: Say, Sa...

SHAYNA OLIVEIRA
About this episode

Today's quick pronunciation tip involves a very common verb: the word "say." You might be surprised that there's slightly different pronunciation in the different forms of this word. In this lesson I’m going to ask you to repeat after me, because the best way to practice pronunciation is for YOU to say the words and sentences out loud, not just watch me say them  :-)

You can get a LOT more pronunciation training inside my courses called American English Pronunciation and Shadowing with Shayna.  Inside these courses, you can practice all the different sounds in English - both in individual words and in sentences. The lessons will help you improve your pronunciation and reduce your accent, so you can speak more clearly.
