If you want to know everything about consonants and won’t settle for just an overview, then this course is for you. If you’ve taken other courses and still don’t feel confident with your pronunciation, then this course is for you. It is dense with detail about every consonant, so you may have to watch certain parts more than once to make sure you’ve got it. Example sentences are from every day life as well as high tech or business fields, so you will be exposed to a variety of vocabulary. The course includes repetition audio practice so you can repeat the sentences over and over again to develop muscle memory. This course has lessons for learners from various language backgrounds. It will be beneficial for Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Persian speakers and more. The instructor has free office hours on Zoom once a month, so you are invited to meet her for questions and to have her check your pronunciation and whether you are incorporating the information properly.
