AEE: Consonant Clusters for Clear English

In this episode of the All Ears English podcast, Lindsay and Michelle discuss consonant clusters and how to pronounce them clearly in English. They introduce their new course, Global English Pronunciation, which aims to help learners speak more clearly by understanding the rhythm and sound patterns of native English speech. They highlight the importance of clear pronunciation over simply mimicking a specific accent, emphasizing that clear speech is key to effective communication. The hosts then focus on final consonant clusters like SPS, SKS, and STS, providing a "snake" technique to help learners pronounce these sounds more effectively, using examples like "crisps," "tasks," and "lists." They also include a role play to demonstrate these concepts in a conversational context, encouraging listeners to join their course for a more in-depth learning experience.
