Get To Know Yin-Yang English
Everything exists in the world has its nature and principles, if we want to use them effectively to benefit us, we have to learn it from the core. For example, to learn to use English properly, for a Mandarine speaker as I am, I have to learn it exactly how English is used and sound exactly like, for there are so many nuances between Chinese and English, not to mention the obvious distinctions like writing, structure and gramma.
There are a few things we need to pay attention to if we want to use English to communicate powerfully, if we don’t spot them out and correct ourselves we will confuse our English speaker audiences (like we need to spread and press the front half of the tongue up to a near touch of the roof of the mouth, to produce the long i: sound for ‘eat’, instead to stretch the short i ‘i–t’ to replace ‘eat’…

English is a stress Language, like music, it has its rhythm, pitches, pace, volume, which if we don’t apply properly we will lose our English speaker listeners’ attention in no time, for we will bore them or overwhelm them very quickly, for them we are speaking no important or all important.

I was doing that for years.
It is not our fault we do this is because Chinese is a syllable language, meaning we give each syllable the equal amount of time and energy, syllable by syllable, instead of

How English proper used
For years I was living in the dark and didn’t know what was wrong with my English speaking and how to correct it or improve it, what a desperate situation I was in for I couldn’t express myself properly with the people around me. The good news is I know now, and I have clearly laid out every sound how exactly to produce and how to join them, so you can have an English pronunciation breakthrough, and speak with clarity and confidence. You will also have great materials to practise with which will help you to expand and gain confidence and clarity in other areas of your life.
Enjoy your journey!
