Intelligibility
Prioritize being understood reliably before chasing accent similarity.
PRONUNCIATION & INTELLIGIBILITY
Train the parts of speech that change understanding, rhythm, and confidence.
Coach’s pronunciation work is grounded in intelligibility—not accent erasure. It can use authorized recurring patterns, CEFR context, and Dominican-Spanish transfer knowledge to choose more useful practice.
Transfer awareness
Use governed Dominican-Spanish transfer patterns as hypotheses, never stereotypes or automatic diagnoses.
Contextual practice
Practice sounds inside meaningful words, phrases, rhythm, and conversation rather than isolated drilling only.
Level-sensitive feedback
Keep beginner correction confidence-safe while increasing precision and directness at higher proficiency.
