Mouth Movement for American English

Description

About this course

Rarely taught. Absolutely essential. This course shows you where sounds live in the mouth and how to move—jaw, tongue, lips, and contact points—so your English stops sounding “spelled out” and starts sounding native.

• Placement (the foundation): the forward/back focus and vertical openness that create American resonance.
• Contact points: gum ridge, teeth & tongue, lip corners—what touches what (and when).
• Soft consonants: clean, low-effort releases instead of tense, blocky sounds.
• Vowels & diphthongs: jaw drop, tongue space, and shape for clarity.

What you’ll master

• ✅ Placement you can feel and repeat—your anchor for every sound.
• ✅ Reliable contact points that stop “miss-hits” on tricky consonants.
• ✅ Soft releases for crisp consonants without extra tension.
• ✅ Clear vowels & diphthongs that stop the “muffled” sound.

What’s inside

• Step-by-step video lessons to see the exact movements.
• Calibration drills (mirror checks & contact-point cues) you can repeat daily.
• Practice word & sentence sets to lock in muscle memory fast.
• Quick checks & mini-quizzes so you know you’re getting it.
• No fluff. Just the mechanics that change how you sound.

How to practice (10 minutes)

1. Stand in front of a mirror and copy the movement cues: placement → contact → release.
2. Repeat the word/sentence sets slowly, then at natural speed.
3. Record → compare → adjust. Short daily reps build muscle memory fast.

Built for

Intermediate–advanced speakers who want crisp consonants, clear vowels, and a consistent American placement—on calls, in meetings, and in everyday talk.

Results you can expect

• • Cleaner, more resonant vowels (no more “muffled” tone).
• • Consistent contact points → fewer misfires on tricky consonants.
• • A noticeable jump in overall “native” feel within weeks of daily practice.

No IPA required—coach-style cues throughout (IPA appears only where helpful).
