Have you ever wondered why many people are intimidated by the idea of speaking a foreign language?

Imagine that someone has been studying a language for a long time but find it hard to speak and be understood by other people – or even afraid to engage in a conversation.

Does that sound familiar?

Yes, maybe that happened to you – do you think it is hard to speak a foreign language with other people, even if they are not native, just like you? Or find it very difficult to understand what people are saying?

Well, you are not alone. A lot of students get frustrated at some point of their studies, saying that speaking a foreign language is too difficult and come to me with complains like these:

• "I can't understand natives - they speak too fast and blurry."
• "I can't speak with confidence - the words get stuck in my mouth."

I understand the feeling. That’s why you need to unblock your hearing and pronunciation of the language you are studying.

How to master a new language: Elemental Sounds

Let’s make it simple: everything you will ever hear or say in a language can be broken down into a finite set of Elemental Sounds.

If your Brain is missing any of these sounds, you will always struggle in conversation. In other words, if you can't understand or speak well, it's because you can't hear or pronounce some of these sounds well.

That's why I put together the Sound Explorer Guides, where I explain how to learn simple techniques for developing awareness and control of your mouth. So with this free language guide you will remove the biggest obstacle to your ability to speak more like a native and understand the language in conversation.

Once you are familiar with how your mouth works, you will have a much easier time learning to hear and pronounce the foreign language you are studying.
