Today I give a quick lesson on the short O is, and how using it can improve your ability to stress vowels when necessary. A lot of people struggle giving this sound enough strength, and end up sounding as if their words are too quick for North American ears.

Work on this yourself by repeating after me, and listening for the following idioms:
Put on some coffee  |  Hit Rock Bottom  |  On the Ball  |  Dropped the ball  |  Not my cup of tea

With some focus, you'll have these sounding great in no time!
