“It’s more reliable to feel what you’re saying, than to hear it” -Anneli Haake @swedishmadeeasy
Getting pronunciation right when you’re learning a new language is a challenge people often find most terrifying. If you’re struggling to ‘listen and repeat’, Anneli Haake has a much more effective method for you to try.
Anneli Haake is a Swedish Language teacher, author, and founder of Swedish Made Easy. After scanning her vocal tract in an MRI machine, Anneli developed a unique approach to teaching pronunciation, focusing on vocal anatomy - how our mouths and tongues move when we say certain words.
This brand new series of the Language Podcast is a toolkit for all you language learners out there - whether you’re learning for the first time, or adding another language to your arsenal.

Why you should learn reductions and contractions as soon as possible
