Hey a,

Can I make a small assumption about you?Tell me if I'm correct.

You've watched some of my YouTube videos.

You've tried to copy my mouth shapes, and repeat the sounds and rhythms.

You find my videos useful and you're learning the rules, but you have no idea if you're doing them correctly because nobody's giving you feedback.

Perhaps you've tried to use ChatGPT or another app to correct your pronunciation, but the feedback's too general... impersonal... and unhelpful.

So you get frustrated because you have no idea what you need to focus on and what problems you have that you need to correct.

Did I get that right, a? (Reply and let me know if I did)

You know you have a problem with pronunciation and this affects your confidence, so let's talk about how we can fix it together.

I want to tell you about my student, Mazet.

Before joining The Pronunciation Hub, Mazet relied on emails at work because her colleagues and suppliers struggled to understand her when she spoke English.

Every time she said something in a meeting, a colleague would have to jump in and "save" her. They'd have to repeat and clarify what she'd just said so everyone else could understand.

It got so uncomfortable that she started making excuses to avoid meetings and conversations, telling her manager about her ideas in private instead of saying them herself to her team in meetings.

A few months into The Pronunciation Hub, that changed.

Here's what she told me:

"Now I can sit in the meetings and communicate, and when I make a mistake I remember the comments from the teacher, I go on and make corrections. My colleagues noticed the difference and asked me what happened."
