For many Japanese speakers, /l/, /r/, /f/, /v/. and /th/ are hard sounds to master. Practice together using linguistic diagrams!

Material

Description  

Using linguistics as a tool for teaching pronunciation, we will go over the following:

Saggial sections and the vocabulary

What is point of articulation and manner of articulation 

Pair sounds /f/ and /v/

Pair sounds th -> /θ/ and /ð/

Sound R -> /ɹ/

And sound L -> /l/

And, we will practice individual words and sentences using a lot of these sounds.

After the lesson I will send you charts, diagrams, and sentences for you to practice whenever you like. 

I hope to see you soon!
