## What is American English?

Learn the American English consonant and vowel sounds that typically trouble French speakers, like h as in hair and i as in sit.  First, learn how to position your mouth. Next, listen to different native speakers and repeat after them. Then play games where you must sharpen your American English sound discrimination skills to determine which sound was said. Did you hear chew or show? fool or full? hold or old? Were the two words you heard the same or different? Of the three words you heard, which one was different? What words do you overhear at a loud party? 

Once you learn to hear the difference between similar sounds that don't exist in French, you will begin to produce the sounds correctly. Finally, hear the sounds in sentences and repeat them with the proper rhythm and intonation.

### 5/5 — Great for learning correct pronunciation

*2013-07-28*

The recordings in this app are very clear and helped me to focus on the sounds I know I need to improve upon, like h. I should set aside time every day to use this App as it's a very useful educational tool.
