I joined a mountain climbing trip with my father and my brother. My father’s cousins also joined us, so it was a big group. I hadn’t seen them for a long time, so I was surprised because they had grown a lot. It felt nice to see them again and talk together before the climb. We started climbing late at night. It was very cold, and the air felt sharp. I was worried about snow, but luckily there was no snow on the mountain, so it was safer than I expected. While we were walking, my body became warm and sometimes even hot. However, when we stopped to rest, I got cold very quickly because we were not moving. After climbing for a long time, we finally reached the top of the mountain. There, we watched the sunrise. The morning sun slowly came up, and the sky changed color. It was very beautiful and made me forget how tired I was. I felt glad that I didn’t give up. Going up the mountain was hard, but going down was also difficult. The ground was slippery, and my legs felt tired, so I had to be very careful. When I finally arrived home, I was completely exhausted. I lay down on my bed and fell asleep right away. It was a tough experience, but it became a great memory with my family.

Are you wanting to learn how to speak clear and completely understandable American English so someone from the United States can really effortlessly understand you without assumptions or confusion? So you don't have to repeat yourself? Have you ever had a native English speaker from the United States watch and listen to you speak and let you know what mistakes you make by typing what they heard you say in written form then put a correction next to it in written form? Have you had them judge your mouth movement? Have you had them really focus on your letter sounds? Maybe you mis pronounce your short vowels. Have you been taught pronunciation from someone from the United States? Have you then had that person give you a lesson plan that would teach you letter sounds? A step by step formula/guide/lesson plan that would teach you letter sounds (short vowels, long vowels, letter blends)? If you're wanting to speak clear and completely understandable American English and you've never been taught letter sounds from someone from the United States then you may have learned the British form of pronunciation OR a mixture of American+(country where you're from) pronunciation. Start your journey to sounding more American today! It is possible! It is achievable! Check out my tutor profile. I offer pronunciation classes!
