Part III — You (and AI) Are Your Best Teacher
The Rubber‑Band Effect (for Pronunciation)
When you stretch a rubber band just a bit, it snaps back easily. That’s your old pronunciation habits returning when you’re tired or distracted.
Stretch it far and release — it doesn’t return to the exact starting point. Do the same in practice: deliberately “overdo” the features you’re training. Make stressed syllables longer and louder, exaggerate intonation, and lengthen vowel sounds. Then, in normal conversation, those features remain clear without extra effort.
Train big to shift the baseline. Speak naturally to keep it there.
