I am a powerful English speaker. Every day my
pronunciation is improving. Every day, I am closer to a
perfect American accent. In fact, I love to exaggerate my
American accent. I make my American accent super
strong. Improving my accent is like a game. I pretend
that I am an actor who is playing an American character.
As I copy AJ’s rhythm, I use a loud, strong voice, and I
even use his gestures and facial expressions. I am
excited about my improvement because I get more
respect when people hear my fantastically clear
American accent.
