Be careful with how you are stressing words in American English! One of the biggest differences between how American English native speakers and language learners sound has to do not only with the vowels or consonants we use, but with how we pronounce stressed words. Instead, if we focus more on the amount of air we allow to pass through and pitch we use, we can achieve a much more natural sound
Welcome to Wake Up American, where Monday through Friday, we spend a couple minutes on a challenging aspect of American English pronunciation and walk through examples to help you achieve a more natural sound the next time you speak in American English at work, at home, or out and about town.

Hi, great video I asked this because some people pronounce the word "simultaneously" with a short I. Thamks coach.
thanks for watching; can you specify which syllable you hear it on?
Hello, Geoff. I have a question about a possible specific assimilation in English. I searched the internet but couldn't find any information about it. Does the /s/ sound become /ʃ/ when it is followed by the /tʃ/ sound? For example, in the words "question" and "digestion," which are typically transcribed as /ˈkwɛstʃən/ and /daɪˈdʒɛstʃən/, they seem to sound like /ˈkwɛʃtʃən/ and /daɪˈdʒɛʃtʃən/. I've also heard natives pronounce 'question' as /ˈkwɛʃən/. It appears that the /s/ sound is being replaced by the /ʃ/ sound. Does this indeed happen, or am I wrong? Thank you!
I think there is a good amount of flexibility in terms of how people pronounce that cluster; I don't think your ears are wrong necessarily. Thanks for writing
@@FluentAmerican I get it, but do you think words like 'question' and 'suggestion' can indeed sound like /ˈkwɛʃtʃən/ and /səˈdʒɛʃtʃən/? Do you think /s/ could be influenced by /tʃ/ and become /ʃ/ in American English?
