In The American English Pronunciation Podcast, Mandy offers weekly lessons covering the most common and difficult English pronunciation issues of adults living and working in the United States, as well as ESL students everywhere. More informal pronunciation patterns are discussed, which makes the podcast equal parts "pronunciation" and "accent reduction". Mandy tells you the pronunciations you are actually hearing around you, not just the perfect "dictionary pronunciation."
