What You See Is NOT How You Say!
For those learning English and are following my rantings, comments etc, you know how complicated written English can be. Today I am writing something about how to proNOUNCE words. However, the proNUNciation can be tricky. I always say, if you need anything, go to the best. Lisa Mojsin is one whom I consider is the best on Youtube if you want to speak like a native American.

For those who cannot access Youtube, I'm sorry that you will have to google and search for her yourself.
However, accent reduction is not as important as the ability to communicate well! Accent reduction is a vanity of oneself as this teacher stresses.

@Ben: The normal pronunciation is "er". However, when we pronounce it as "aey" it means emphasis.

I have a question, Jeff. Are all "A"s in sentences pronounced as [ei] ? Or sometimes [ə]/[e] ?
