    About the Course

    This is the second course of The Pronunciation of American English specialization. In this course, you will learn and practice all of the vowel
    sounds of American English, including pairs of vowels that may be easy to confuse. Each week you will receive practical advice from successful
    English learners and practice an effective technique called shadowing to improve your pronunciation of vowel sounds. You will also have
    opportunities to record yourself and to respond to the recordings of other learners. Only learners who pay for the course will be able to take
    the graded quizzes or submit assignments for feedback. The free version provides access to the lectures and practice activities only.

    Aunque el título hace parecer que el curso es sencillo, fue una experiencia enriquecedora.Don't trust yourself by the title, this is an excellent and full of learning course (in my experience).

    Very helpful. This course provides a core for learning vowels pronunciation and truly shows interesting information that I've never learnt before when studying at compulsory school.

    I have liked the courses of this specialization a lot. I have only one but: the recorded assignments are dialogues and we need to record BOTH "characters". This makes the recording VERY artificial. Although I can understand why they were chosen, I would like to see a monologue like a presentation or speech in exercises rather than a dialogue, it would be more natural and authentic. Many people end up reading more than really speaking because it's really hard to mimic intonation when the situation is unreal.

    Other than that, the course material is GREAT.

    Buen curso, pero me hubiese gustado que se muestre los movimientos de la lengua y su posición en la boca, a lo mejor con la maqueta que tiene la profesora.

    Only one problem is pronunciation respelling key, it's very unconvinient compare to classic phonemic symbols. Except this point, everything is all right

    4 because it's really hard when you have to wait more than a week for an assignment review, on the other hand the material and classes were fantastic.

    in the first video they showed how they were gonna display where the tongue is to be located when pronouncing different sound using a 3d model of the mouth, yet it has never showed up since then (only a picture which is not as accurate as that model is) + the visuals (editing and effects) are kinda outdated. Better be modernized

    Unfortunately, I found this course boring and not the most conducive to actually learn pronunciation.
