#AccentReduction #EnglishTeacher #MoreThanEnglish
In this episode of The Accent Reduction Myth, we look at the external cost of focusing too much on accent reduction. Too many students choose wrong teachers because they focus on where the teacher is from instead of their teaching ability.
In this episode, Jesse gives POWERFUL tips to use when choosing the perfect English teacher for what you need.
In this series, Jesse is going to explore the accent reduction myth, why it's holding learners back, and how we can make accents work for us.
NOTE: This is NOT to say pronunciation is not important.
This is going to be a 5-video series. Each video is going to be a different flaw in accent reduction and at the end, it will be a montage of one of the nursery rhymes.
The reasons are:
1. Which accent do you want?
2. Internal cost
3. External cost
4. Majoring on the minors
5. Accent reduction vs. Pronunciation

This is from Episode 10 of the More Than English Podcast where I speak with Luke Kim of Luke Look English. Luke talks about the first part of his journey to English fluency. He started later than other students, others teased him for not knowing as much, and he was faced with a decision.- Do I give up because I'm being made fun of, or do I attack this and become better?-
He uses many useful expressions very naturally for you to learn from. Stay around until the end of the video to get explanation of the expressions and vocabulary.
