Practice on Zoom through Meetup
|
Practice live with other people on Zoom.
Practice anytime by watching the videos. After each Meetup, I record the words and sentences that we practiced together and post the video on the Adastra Speech YouTube channel. |

American English Pronunciation Q&A
Tuesdays @ 1:00-2:00pm
US Eastern Time |
Bring any questions you have about pronunciation of English words and I'll help you understand and practice. People who attend add words to our list of words to practice for that meeting. I demonstrate and explain the pronunciation then you can try it and get feedback. There's never any pressure to speak in front of other people, attending and just listening is also good practice. It's free to join and attend the Meetups. Join and RSVP "yes" to attend and then you'll receive the link to join the Zoom meeting. |
American English Intonation
Wednesdays at 6:00-7:00pm
US Eastern Time |
This is about the "music" of English - the rhythm, the pace, the connections, the high and low tones (pitch/Hz) - all of this is called "prosody" and "intonation" is the focus on using pitch and duration. People who attend add phrases, sentences, expressions, any groups of words where we can identify which word should be emphasized and the connections between the words. It's free to join and attend the Meetups. Join and RSVP "yes" to attend and then you'll receive the link to join the Zoom meeting. |
