Obsessed with phonetics [fə'nɛɾɪks]. I type IPA symbols in real time during my lessons. I can help you improve your listening and pronunciation by giving you a solid base on Spanish phonetics (how sounds are made) and phonology (how the sounds vary). Note: You DO NOT need "Italki Plus". All Italki Plus does is generate AI stuff from the audio recording when you use Italki Classroom. I do NOT recommend using Italki Classroom. Please choose Zoom instead. And I use Google Docs to write down anything you need to remember, so Italki Plus is pointless if you're taking lessons with me. Before our lesson: -Get a headset with microphone -Install Zoom -Create a Google Document and share it with me. In Spanish, "todos" is pronounced ['to.ðos], but English speakers say ['to.ɾos]. You've just changed the word meaning "everyone" for the word meaning "bulls". Learning about phonetics can also help you understand native speakers. In natural connected speech, "¿Qué es esto?" is pronounced ['ke'ses.to]. You'll learn phonetics to understand WHY this happens and how pronunciation varies by country. I'll help you acquire a neutral accent that will be accepted anywhere on Earth. I stress the importance of ear training and correct pronunciation right from the start. Please watch my introduction video to see a very common mistake learners make. Book a lesson now! If possible, please do the following before our lesson: 1) Make sure your internet connection is solid (ethernet is better) 2) Get a headset. 3) Create a new Google Document and share it with me. 4) For the best aud...

He has an interesting method to help you identify connected speech in videos/movies. I recently discovered that members of another Spanish learning platform that focuses on patterns or phrases speech to improve your conversation skills have been recommending his Youtube channel for improving your pronunciation. This can be start, but I feel it is important to have a native speaker listen and correct your pronunciation.

Miguel y yo hemos estado enfocado en pronunciation y reducido mi acento. Nunca había tenido un profesor que presta tan atención a las detalles como a él. Soy nivel intermedio avanzada y ojalá hubiera empezado más temprano para aprender la phonetica desde inicio porque me está ayudando mejorar mi pronunciación y entender hablantes de nativos en velocidad normal y hacia rápido (mi último meta cuando termine)
