You might know the sounds of American English, and you might have heard someone explain what to do with your tongue, jaw, and lips to pronounce them.

But something still feels off when you speak — like your accent just isn’t clicking.

It’s not your ears.
It’s not your effort.

It’s the default shape your tongue carries over from your native language — a hidden habit that affects every sound you make.

This guide shows you how to identify that pattern — and why it’s holding you back from sounding more native-like in American English.

I've been working with Mary for 5 months, and my accent has changed significantly! 

Before having classes with her, I was imitating the American accent without actually articulating the sounds as a native speaker.

Thanks to Mary, now I know exactly how to move my tongue for each and every sound. She is 100% the professional you're looking for if you want to sound like a real American.

The techniques she employs are truly the best I've seen.
