    One of the biggest differences between how American English native speakers and language learners sound has to do with the vowels or consonants we use.

    The reality: we often struggle to feel natural adding the elements we need to use in our pronunciation, especially when it comes to pronouncing vowels like native speakers.. Specifically, we're going to focus on common minimal pairs that cause issues for pronunciation students.


    Welcome to Wake Up American, where Monday through Friday, we spend a couple minutes on a challenging aspect of American English pronunciation and walk through examples to help you achieve a more natural sound the next time you speak in American English at work, at home, or out and about town.
