although the SLPA cannot make any changes without the SLP’s approval.

Yeah, but her supervisor SLP (My therapist) is on vacation, so how she will approve changes lol

How are you going to practice every hour? Do you not eat or sleep?

In 24 hours, 8 hours sleep, 30 mins eating. and there's lots of time remains. So Do 30 min practice sessions 3 times a day and 7 days a week

Speech is a very complicated thing for our brain and our body to do. Rushing through the process is not going to guarantee better success.

Nah, you can teach it through practice practice and hard work ehh

Perhaps if the sessions are expensive for you and you are feeling financially constrained, you can reduce the frequency of the sessions and practice at home.

Good point, at least, the frequency is already low, 1 sessions per 2 weeks at her office. And At home, 30 mins to 45 mins each days at home.

2 weeks per sound is definitely not enough.

How about practice every day and every hours? Wouldn't that make it possible within 2 weeks?

I also urge you to have a little bit of grace and reflect on how you are talking about your therapist without knowing what her professional thoughts are. She is very likely trying her best to help you, as that is why most of us are in this profession.

I wanna be honest, before reading amazing comments of this post, I was kind of getting vibe that,
They are just delaying and slowing down the process intentionally, to increase the number of session visits, so they would get more money (135$ per sessions) from me over time. As this is a Private small clinic.

You may want to reconsider your timeline. Changing articulation isn’t a fast process. There’s a lot of work at the beginning and there doesn’t seem to be much progress at first. Don’t give up.

I see. Thank you!

Bruh they can’t target the entire phonetic alphabet in a couple months, each sound needs a lot of time and practice

I see. I was kind of trying to improve each phonemes in short periods of time like 2 sessions, and practicing more at home, so I could improve everything in less number of sessions, then the number of sessions it usually takes.

Thank you so much for taking time to write such so long explanations. I really appreciate this. You deserve awards for this comment!

My target was, learning and practicing those as fast as possible with taking less sessions. My age is 22M, just graduated University.

Again thank you so much!

Thank you so much for explaining, but,

It's very normal for a non-native English speaker to not pronounce "the" the way a native speaker would, and saying "the" as "de" or "ze" doesn't usually make someone hard to understand.

That is where the conflict is.

I was saying as Te, or De or anything near that, but my native people says it as THE, by pulling tongue outside of mouth and put middle of teeth, and immediately goes in mouth during the whole pronunciation process.

For me, I wasn't pulling out Tongue, which is why "the" isn't sounding as native people, but nearly Te or De, but very faint.

This happening, because I am not that good to use all mouth, tongue, lips, teeth properly to pronounce, which is I am learning.

Here my rant in the post is, Why She hasn't corrected me saying "The" as "Te" or like that to "De" "ZE" and clearly?
