Key Features and Learning Methodology
1. Neuroscience-Based Learning Approach:
Our ability to accurately reproduce the sounds of our first language originates in early childhood linguistic exposure. We can correctly reproduce the sounds of our first language because we learned it at a very early age when our ears were especially sensitive to new sounds. The pronunciation patterns of our first language were recorded as software in our brain. However, when we learn a second language, we mostly use these pre-recorded patterns rather then record new ones, especially for foreign sounds that are similar to the sounds of our native language.
This pronunciation course will help you to record new program for the sounds of English by taking you through different stages of sound learning . It will explain the nuances of pronunciation of different sounds, practice with tongue twisters and poems.
2. Pronunciation Lessons:
The app features over 100 lessons focused on every individual English sound. The lessons provide clear explanations of pronunciation nuances, let you listen, repeat and practice English words and tongue twisters and poems until you can hear and reproduce correctly each English sound.
