Hebrew has 5 basic vowels while English has over a dozen vowels.
Hebrew speakers often interchange similar vowels in English, saying “I FILL good” instead of “I FEEL good“.
They substitute English vowels such as “PEN” vs “PAN” / “BALL” vs “BOWL“.
“TH” and American “R” sounds are often replaced by the perceived Hebrew equivalents – often “T” & “D” and uvular “R” – DIS vs THIS.
ACCENT MODIFICATION is EASY, and focuses on sound identification and correct placement.
BE A BETTER SPEAKER!
