Sound Natural: Stop Speaking Like a Textbook
Description
Sound Natural (Not Like a Textbook)
🔥 Unique Angle:
“You don’t sound unnatural because of grammar — you sound unnatural because of word choice.”
🔊 Pronunciation Focus:
Teach stress + emotion
-
exHAUsted (stress on HAU)
-
STARving (strong, emotional)
-
MASsive (clear stress on first syllable)
👉 Drill:
Say it:
-
neutral → emotional → exaggerated
This helps them sound less robotic
🎯 Micro-Skills:
-
Avoid flat tone
-
Add feeling to words
-
Slight exaggeration = more natural
🧠 Correction Trick:
Instead of saying “wrong”, say:
👉 “That’s correct… but here’s how a British person would say it”
🎭 Signature Activity:
“Upgrade Game”
-
Student speaks normally
-
You interrupt: “Upgrade that”
-
They must improve instantly
