In this episode, host Katherine Arthur is talking about something that sounds small, but can make a tremendous difference in how natural your American English sounds. It‘s the American mouth posture.

Now, that phrase can sound a little strange at first. “Mouth posture” is not something most people spend a lot of time thinking about in daily life. We think about words. We think about grammar. We think about vocabulary. But the shape and position of your mouth while you speak can completely change how your English sounds.

In this episode, Katherine will tell you what the American mouth posture is, how it differs from the mouth posture in other languages, what happens when you do not use it, how to find it, and a few simple practice exercises you can start using right away.
