Why Visual Input Improves Pronunciation
Verified linguistic research demonstrates that learners improve pronunciation significantly when they can see the speaker’s face. Visual cues reveal how lips, tongue, and jaw move—information that audio alone cannot convey.
Hardison (2010) found that students who received audiovisual pronunciation training— seeing the speaker while hearing the sounds—made greater gains in accuracy compared to those who relied only on listening.
This is why Lose Your Accent in 28 Days includes extensive video demonstrations for every major American English sound.
