American Accent Training note

1. This is meant with the best of intentions, but it is exactly the opposite of what a student really needs to do.
2. better is pronounced bedder.
3. pool-pull feel-fill

4. When you have a word ending in an unvoiced consonant-one that you “whisper” (t,k,s,x,f,sh)-you will notice that the preceding vowel is said quite quickly, and on a single stairstep. When a word ends in a vowel or a voiced consonant -one that you “say” (b,d,g,z,v,zh,j), the preceding vowel is said more slowly, and on a double stairstep.
