How might you apply them?
Could you try them this week while speaking?
In "Powerful Practices to Improve Your Spoken English," the third episode of her podcast, Ruden says that you can put these tips to practice by doing the following on a regular basis:
1/ Read out loud for two minutes while slowing your pace, moving your mouth, and speaking more loudly
2/ Listen to audiobooks or podcasts in American English.
Another technique that reaps results is recording yourself speaking for one or two minutes. Next, watch these short videos and ask yourself: What did I do well? What could I improve? This advice comes from the amazing Accent's Way English with Hadar, a YouTube channel that's all about speaking American English better.
