Record and compare your speech

4:56

notes you then

4:56

put the audio or the video away and from

4:59

your notes try to speak the way the

5:01

native speaker was speaking if you can

5:04

record yourself and then compare this to

5:07

the native speaker this is how you can

5:09

figure out where you still need to

5:11

work and now we'll do an imitation

5:15

exercise in this video you don't look at

5:18

the text you're not concerned with the

5:20

actual words because you do already have

5:22

ideas about how words should be

5:24

pronounced so in this exercise you're

5:27

just listening and I Loop things three

5:30

times in an imitation exercise so that

5:33

you begin to think about the pitch

5:35

changes and the musicality of the speech

5:37

rather than the individual words

5:40

themselves repeat it back exactly as you

5:43

hear it even if you're not sure of the

5:45

individual words it's okay that's not

5:48

what we're going for in this particular

5:51

exercise a lot of people ask me a lot of

5:55

people ask me a lot of people ask me

6:02

a lot of people ask me if it's possible

6:04

to sound like a native speaker if it's

6:07

possible to sound like a native speaker

6:09

if it's possible
