Get Rid of your Accent, James L., Smith O., 2007

Get Rid of your Accent, James L., Smith O., 2007.

   The biggest single factor that affects people s first impression of you is your speech and accent. Wouldn’t you rather sound educated, with correct pronunciation, clear speech and a neutral accent? Whether you are an actor, a student, a teacher, an executive or a diplomat, you will refer to this book before your performances, presentations, interviews and public speeches again and again.




Semi-vowel [j] as in "yacht".
Semi-vowels are neither vowels nor consonants. The speech organs start as if you make a pure single vowel, but instead of making that sound, they immediately move to another sound.

Speech organs position:
[j], as in "yes": The tip of the tongue behind the bottom teeth. The front of the tongue comes high in the mouth, as if you're going to say [i:], as in feet. But before you can say [i:], the front of the tongue drops rapidly to the neutral or schwa position [a] and it's that movement coming down that forms the sound [j].

Listen and repeat. Read each sentence aloud slowly at first, then as if you were telling it to someone in a natural way.
1. Yesterday, we had to queue to get into Kew.
2. I refuse to argue with you. Excuse me, I have duties to pursue.
3. I was confused that the bank refused to accept my Euros.
4. The youth yelled out, "I yearn to go to York!"
5. You knew yesterday's news about the European yachts tour, didn't you?
6. In the European Union, the sound of beautiful music is not unique.
