Nailing Pronunciation in a New Language

“It’s more reliable to feel what you’re saying, than to hear it” - Anneli Haake

Getting pronunciation right when you’re learning a new language is a challenge people often find most terrifying. If you’re struggling to ‘listen and repeat’, Anneli Haake has a much more effective method for you to try.

Anneli Haake is a Swedish Language teacher, author, and founder of Swedish Made Easy. After scanning her vocal tract in an MRI machine, Anneli developed a unique approach to teaching pronunciation, focusing on vocal anatomy - how our mouths and tongues move when we say certain words. 

This brand-new series of The Language Podcast is a toolkit for all you language learners out there - whether you’re learning for the first time, or adding another language to your arsenal.

In this episode you will learn:

• The importance of pronunciation and why it’s not the same as ‘accent’
• How to focus on your own vocal anatomy to improve your pronunciation
• Why you should learn reductions and contractions as soon as possible
• What to do if you can’t make a certain sound
