American English language learners that are wanting to improve their spoken American English.... Have you ever had a native English speaker born and raised in the US judge your spoken American English? Have you ever had them type to you the mistake that you said either a word or phrase not pronounced right or wrong sentence structure then type to you the correct pronunciation/word/sentence structure? Someone to listen to every sound you make as you speak to analyze the word choices you make and the order in which you speak your words to let you know if it's common to be said or natural to be said? Someone that will also focus on the amount of hesitation you have when speaking. How often you repeat words and phrases. To give you immediate or afterwards corrections. That way you know exactly what you're struggling with and what to improve on so you can become 'unstuck' in this difficulty that you're having with the American English language.
