Hey guys! It is Aiko with Schwagirl. I am an American English pronunciation coach.

Welcome to my podcast “The Voice of English” Season 2.

Season 2 focuses more on communication. In each episode, I bring a guest and he/she will give us tips to become a better communicator as a person who speaks English as a second language.

In Episode 24, I invited RiRia who is an actor and musician based in Los Angeles.

RiRia is a multi international award winning flutist who is originally from Tokyo, Japan. Her recording was used at Vancouver Olympics by its silver medal winning figure skater, Mao Asada. She moved to Los Angeles on her own, when she was 17 years old to further pursue her career in performing. In 2019, she dropped her debut single as a producer and singer songwriter “I Think I Like That” which she sings and raps in English and Japanese.

Here are my notes

  • Fake it till you make it!
  • Try to spend time with native speakers to learn English effectively
  • If you would like to act in Hollywood, learn pronunciation as much as possible
  • In the US, being too humble may not work well. Say “I can do it” when you are still semi-good at it.

Enjoy the episode!
