English students, try this.

The day before Christmas, I went to a Christmas café in Shin-Okubo with my friends. The café was very famous, so there were many high school students and couples. Because of that, we had to wait in a long line for a long time. I felt very tired while waiting. However, when we finally entered the café, my feelings changed. Inside the café, there were many cute foods and beautiful Christmas decorations. The cakes and drinks were colorful and looked very nice. The decorations made me feel excited and happy. I really enjoyed the Christmas atmosphere there. Even though I was tired, I thought it was worth waiting. I want to visit the café again next year. On Christmas Day, I went to Costco with my university friends. We bought many kinds of food, such as pizza, chicken, and desserts. After shopping, we went to my friend’s house and had a Christmas party. We cooked and prepared a lot of food together, so the room was full of delicious smells. I ate a lot, and I became very full. We also wore Santa Claus and reindeer headbands. It made us feel more like Christmas. We took many pictures and talked a lot. I had a very fun and happy Christmas with my friends. It became a great memory for me.

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.
