Why is speaking English so hard?

Many people successfully learn to read and write English, but still struggle to speak English. Why? 

  • English spelling can trick us into mispronouncing a word. 
  • The rhythm of English is more important than many people realize.
  • Our adult brains prevent us from noticing new language sounds, literally.

Built around the Color Vowel® Approach, Blue Canoe is the world’s first methodical pronunciation app, and it addresses all of these challenges!

Proper English pronunciation is hindered by people being misled by spelling and by not speaking with proper rhythm.

The science behind Blue Canoe

The Color Vowel® System is a highly effective method used by millions of teachers and learners around the world.  Combined with AI technology and voice recognition, the method is now directly available to learners through Blue Canoe.

It works because it uses brain science to activate the parts of your brain that are still open to learning new language sounds with the methodical use of images, music, and movement.

Using a color and a symbol – such as BLUE MOON or GREEN TEA – for each of the 14 English vowel sounds helps your brain to remember them.

Using your hand to highlight stress – the key syllable in a word – is like turning on a switch in your brain, and helps to pronounce the words correctly.
