About Me
italki teacher since Nov 26, 2018Interest topicTechScienceBusiness & Finance
My specialty is PRONUNCIATION | California Native. Can you say "GIRL" or "WORLD"? Lessons are IMMERSIVE, we study PRONUNCIATION + grammar, vocabulary, phrasal verbs, idioms, slang. *Guest Speaker at 4 International TESOL conferences*
I can turn OFF video for long-term students and they sound NATIVE.
If you said these words on Speaker Phone, would you be understood?
*leaf - laugh
*wreath - reef
*collar - color
*men - man
*come - came
Did you know many sounds come from a VIBRATION in the throat? We even have NASAL sounds!

It was great! I can hear and feel that my pronunciation changes and I also like it that I acquire some spoken phrases from Kristine. She is a great professional and attentive coach! Thank you! I'm already looking forward to our next lesson.

I enjoy these lessons so much. She always tries to challenge me with new vocabulary and phrases that I'm not familiar with. I feel like I'm improving a lot and that encourage me to keep learning. She's an excellent teacher.

We worked on W and V today and I've completely reimagined pronunciation of these sounds. Kristine is great explaining things in an easy and understandable way and she even drew parallel with pronunciation of these sounds in the Slavic languages so I can notice the difference while practicing.
