How to make your English sound like Native Speaker. 

Leaning English in Taiwan, we can speak with fluency but it's still hard for us to make our English with accuracy. While studying in the US, I joined a program that help me to find my weakness in speaking English and find solutions to adjust my pronunciation. Meanwhile, I try different on-line recourses to make it better. 

I offered two materials for you to practice your English. First of all, it is called, "Echo Method" offered by Professor Karen. As a teacher, we did mechanical practice in class but sometimes we forgot to remind our students to LISTEN CAREFULLY and repeat. Second, ELSA SPEAK is an app, I recently used. It has seven days free trail so seize the time to practice.

Echo method 1. listen 2. wait 3. repeat

First, while learning a language, try not to just think about yourself. You have to think about how others feel when they listen to you

Second, when setting a goal for learning a language, don't set up for the goal for passing the quiz or exam. You should be aiming to communicate comfortably and enjoyable with others

Finally, persist and stick with it. Don't try to cram it in the last minutes, do practice a little every day. Just ten Minutes a day and your English will improve out of your expectation.Finally, persist and stick with it. Don't try to cram it in the last minutes, do practice a little every day.

 ELSA SPEAK

Techology makes your English better. I download ELSA Speak and I found that it's easy for me to find my oral weakness.  

 app store  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/elsa-speak-accent-reduction/id1083804886

It has 7 days free trail so you had better practice day by day. In the very beginning, you have to read 20 to 25 sentences that help you to find your weakness. As for me, I am not good at ending sound and th sound as well.  

Once you finished the pre-test, it will show different lessons for you to practice. For example, in the lesson it will show you a sentence, you tap the speaker and it will read for you. Then, you press the recorder to repeat the sentence again and the machine will tell you how similar is it to native speakers.
