单集简介 ...

Today, we’re diving into an exciting and educational pronunciation practice where you’ll learn the names of all 50 U.S. state capitals! But we’re not stopping there—this lesson will also include one fun fact about each state, so you’ll walk away with the correct pronunciation and with a few fun tidbits to impress your friends. For this episode, we recommend shadowing. Shadowing is when you listen carefully to a word or phrase and immediately repeat it out loud, mimicking the speaker as closely as possible. It’s an excellent way to improve pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation! As you follow along, listen to the pronunciation of each capital, repeat it after me, and pay attention to the flow of the word. Let’s practice together, state by state, and have some fun along the way. Ready? Let’s get started! //IMPORTANT LINKS// Read the Transcript: https://americanenglishpodcast.com/177-pronunciation-50-us-state-capitals/ Get all Premium Content for Season 4: https://bit.ly/3rF36k4 All Premium Content for Seasons 1, 2 and 3: https://bit.ly/44822TQ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Hi everybody.

  • My name is Shawna and this is the American English Podcast.

  • My goal here is to teach you the English spoken in the United States through common expressions, pronunciation tips, and interesting cultural snippets or stories.

  • I hope to keep this fun, useful and interesting.

  • Let's do it.

  • Welcome back.

  • How's it going?

  • In today's episode, we're going to be diving into the correct pronunciation of U.S.

  • state capitals.

  • Sometimes U.S.

  • capitol cities are the most populous cities.

  • In other words, the city with the most people in the state.

  • Sometimes they're not.

  • Whether you plan on traveling to the United States or you just want to improve your speaking skills, this episode will help you confidently pronounce the names of these places.

  • They commonly come up in everyday conversations.

  • If you're talking to people from the United States, you see them often on the news.

  • I'll guide you through each of them.

  • You'll also hear one interesting fact about each place.

  • Just to make it fun, in episode 64, which was also a pronunciation episode about the US states, we went through all of the state names and shared a fun fact about the states.

  • So that episode is pretty similar.
