Mimic Method

Idahosa Ness, a language trainer, developed the Mimic Method to teach language learners the sound system of their new language. The Mimic Method aims to teach this "by ear" method of language learning so that you can improve your pronunciation and accent and sound more like a native speaker.

Mimic promotes a course that focuses entirely on pronunciation (treating language like a song). The program can be technical and difficult to navigate, but if your only goal is to improve your pronunciation, it could be beneficial.The platform teaches you how to speak a language in three stages: sound capacity, syllable capacity, and sentence capacity. The Mimic Method teaches you why and how sounds are important in language learning.

It is the foundation of communication, according to Idahossa Ness, and the lessons are taught via webinars. This principle is supported by technical concepts in which you will learn about the various parts of the mouth, nose, and throat — (all of which are parts of the body responsible for creating sounds).

When you are taught a concept, it is accompanied by a homework assignment. It assesses what you know and what you don't know about your target language and pronunciation. The homework at the start of the course will be heavily focused on why pronunciation is so important. Each concept is divided into units, and each unit will go over the previous homework you were assigned.

Overall, Mimic Method is a one-of-a-kind concept and platform.
