Who wants to sound like a native English speaker from the United States? Maybe you're wanting to visit the United States. Maybe you're wanting to move to the United States. Maybe you got a job in the United States and you want to be able to communicate with people in your new neighborhood. Or maybe you already live in the United States but were born in another country, but you want to learn how to sound more like you live here. You want to talk to people in the grocery store, book store and more! But your accent is bothering you. Have you ever had someone from the United States really judge your pronunciation? Really listen to all the sounds you make when you speak? Then let you know what letter sounds that you say wrong in American English? Then actually teach you how to say American English letter sounds clearly and correctly. So your nouns, vowels etc sound really clear and understandable. Not like.. 'Sort of like American English' but really American English. That way your listener knows exactly what you're saying without confusion, hesitation, assumptions, mis understanding. Wouldn't your listener appreciate that? Wouldn't that make the conversation more free flowing and more enjoyable? Check out my tutor profile and book a lesson of mine. I've been tutoring students around the world since 2018 to sound more American.

THE WORD “ODD” The word odd is an English borrowing from Old Norse, the language of the Vikings who settled in parts of England. Its meaning has shifted over time, moving from a geometric concept to a numerical one, and finally to its modern sense of strangeness. Original Meaning: The Point The ultimate source of the word is the Old Norse word oddr or oddi, which had a very concrete, physical meaning: Spear Point / Sharp Edge: Oddr literally meant "point of a weapon" or "spear." Point of Land / Angle: Oddi also referred to a "point of land" or a corner/angle, like the shape of a triangle. Evolution of Meaning: The Third One The path from "point" to "not even" is believed to be a sequence of logical associations based on the idea of something being left over or forming an apex: The Triangle: Because a point of land (or oddi) is often shaped like a triangle, the word came to mean "triangle." The Unpaired Corner: A triangle has three sides/angles. If you pair up two of the corners, the third one (the point/apex) is left over, making it the unpaired or extra one. The Odd Number: This led to the meaning of "a surplus over an even number" or the third number (as in 1, 2, 3). The Old Norse phrase odda-maðr literally meant "the third man" or the one who gives the casting vote (the odd man out). Modern Meaning: Strange The modern sense of "strange, peculiar, or unusual" is the final development, first recorded in the late 16th century. It comes directly from the notion of being: The one left out (the "odd man out"). The one unmatched or unpaired in a set. If something is the unmatched item, it naturally begins to stand out as different from the rest, leading to the meaning of peculiar or strange.
