The American Pronunciation Guide is devoted to descriptive linguistics--i.e., the study of the internal phonological, grammatical, and semantic structures of languages without reference to the history of the language or comparison with other languages. Accordingly, the American Pronunciation Guide believes that the best way to learn how to pronounce "SZA" is to listen to how your peers say "SZA." To help foster such descriptive learning, the American Pronunciation Guide provides videos combining relevant clips from popular culture. Enjoy!
