This is the second course of The Pronunciation of American English specialization. In this course, you will learn and practice all of the vowel sounds of American English, including pairs of vowels that may be easy to confuse. Each week you will receive practical advice from successful English learners and practice an effective technique called shadowing to improve your pronunciation of vowel sounds. You will also have opportunities to record yourself and to respond to the recordings of other learners. Only learners who pay for the course will be able to take the graded quizzes or submit assignments for feedback. The free version provides access to the lectures and practice activities only.

Very helpful. This course provides a core for learning vowels pronunciation and truly shows interesting information that I've never learnt before when studying at compulsory school.

4 because it's really hard when you have to wait more than a week for an assignment review, on the other hand the material and classes were fantastic.

This course is a good start for setting your pronunciation. I have got an idea how to use my mouth correctly while saying certain sounds. I'm more conscious pronouncing vowel sounds, I understood how finally to correct my mistakes that made my speech difficult to be understood. 3 stars because I didn't see any active involvement of the managers of the course or teachers. There were certain mistakes in the tests that lowered my score. Peer review is not valuable, the rubrics are not clear what exactly to evaluate.. I don't understand why pay for the certificate... I wish I could get some valuable feedback on my pronunciation.

I think it's a very useful course for many people with simple explanations to make vowel sounds. Yet, as some learners mentioned, the mouth shape figures are a little too simplified and they are mainly from the side, meaning that there were not any other detailed mouth views from the front or any other angles or any photo or video-like real life views..
Also, it is quite a pity that some quizzes include errors but not fixed at all. I would like the staff people responsible for the course would check what the learners post in Discussion section, otherwise w e have no communication places to post any problems. Thank you.

Well structured. Good instructors, Good lecture.
Recommend for all who want to improve English pronunciation especially those who learn English as a second language like me.
I would strongly recommend this course, it was a fascinating journey, You will enjoy so much that you can become addicted to do it and to improve your pronunciation.
I like the detail with which the teachers teach how to pronounce vowels, never before has someone taught me so clearly
THIS IS WORTH EVERY PENNY . I AM GLAD , I CHOOSE THAT COURSE
I learned English with the wrong approach: Writing and Reading and then Listening and Speaking. Due to this, I mispronounced plenty of vowel sounds. Thanks to this course, I understand better the secrets of clear pronunciation. I need to practice more, clearly, but UCI teachers have taught me how to do it. I am super grateful. I promise to keep practicing every day, and I am sure that with their knowledge, my pronunciation and accent will be excellent sooner than later. Thanks, UCI teachers. You rock!
Excellent team of experts and perfect teaching. I'm so glad that I took this course. I will never forget it. They helped me understand the vowels and look at them from another perspective. I feel I have really achieved my goal. I love the didactic ways they use to teach you through a rubber band, images, and videos.
I am greatly thankful for all of my teachers on this course. I have already taken a similar course on this topic from my university but I have ended up learning more about pronunciation and also practicing my skills. I would recommend this class to everyone :)
This course for it has been very helpful because I learnt a loto about how to pronounce and i feel more confident when i have to speek in English without doubts it's amazing this course and the specialization.
