Susan helped me better my pronunciation in group exercises as well as in 1-on-1 consultations. I reached a new level of spoken American English which allowed me to freely communicate in all day-to-day situations. As a result of the course, I am now able to take part in the school life of my daughter, freely communicate with my daughter’s teachers, and with the parents of her classmates. I now feel I have enough command of English to solve many daily problems involving phone and person-to-person conversations (talking to a utility company, ordering plane tickets over the phone, etc).

I am thankful to Susan, because my improved pronunciation allowed me to find new English speaking friends and to participate in more English speaking activities. Zhang L. , China.

Accent Reduction Strategy 3-Learn to Use the “schwa” Vowel Sound in Reduced Syllables. The word ARE | Rachel's English. I've gotten a few questions recently about the word 'are'.Specifically someone recently asked if they were hearingcorrectly “What you doing?” Instead of “What are you doing?” That is not grammatically correct,and a native speaker would not say “What you doing?” However, a native speaker may reduce the word 'are'so much that a non-native speaker would have problems hearing it.The word 'are' can be reduced simply to the schwa/R sound, er, er, er.So in this sentence, What are you doing?

,you may very well hear whater, whater,whater you doing? Whater you doing? With the er very low in pitch and very fast.What are you doing? Now that you know what you're listening for, see if you can hear it in this sentence: What are you doing, what are you doing, what are you doing? The word 'are' is often shortened in writing as well, as a contraction with 'you', 'we', or 'they'. Let's look at a few more sentences where the word 'are' can be reduced.
