38. English Success Is Simple

Annie Ruden M.S. CCC-SLP
About this episode

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the process of learning how to speak American English clearly? Has it ever felt like too much or felt out of reach?

I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to feel this way. You don’t have to let the feelings of overwhelm or fear stop you from achieving your goals, especially when it comes to feeling confident in your spoken American English.

In this episode, I share with you a universal truth about how small and simple steps will help you change and bring great success in not only your pronunciation but in all aspects of your life! The key is to stay CONSISTENT. As long as you are consistent with the small and simple things, great things will come.

Later on in the podcast I share with you the 3 step Pronunciation Pro process. Make sure to listen to the end so that you can learn about these 3 easy steps that will help in improving your spoken English. If you follow this process, over time you will see INCREDIBLE results. I’ve seen it over and over with my students. If you are interested in having a course that guides you through the process of learning the rules of American English and building your confidence, I invite you to join Pronunciation Pro today!
