Pronunciation
Good pronunciation makes a good impression.
HOW TO LEARN
- Pronunciation is one of the highly significant initial stages for starters. After practicing the pronunciation of 44 IPA characters (International-Phonetic-Alphabet: international phonetic symbols), students can independently read the pronunciation of vocabulary when looking up in the dictionary, pronounce it correctly, as well as identify more precise sounds when listening to native speakers. This step contributes to the primary support for the listening stage and helps the learner speak more confidently.
- In the beginning process, when we want to pronounce a word, we should look it up in the dictionary to know how native speakers pronounce it and avoid stating it based on personal experience.
You can learn pronunciation on some applications on your smartphone to check your voice, such as ELSA Speak, FluentU, Pronunroid, English Pronunciation, Say It, Sounds, or Learn English Pronunciation. - We should require someone with good pronunciation to review our pronunciation skills, or we must invest in a pronunciation course to improve the quality more productively. This is an incredibly indispensable core and foundation stage to surpass the barrier of learning English, as frequently, we are afraid to use English to communicate due to being shy and embarrassed in front of a crowd when we pronounce it incorrectly with a dreadful voice.
- Once you can set up a stable foundation, you can learn to pronounce different accents to understand native speakers from many places (British English, American English, English Australian, or Canadian English). However, initially, you must select one accent type to maintain practice.
Learning a new language is a long process of acquiring knowledge and sharpening skills. Just diligently study and practice without too concentrating on the exams as the score or grade is merely the evident outcome of the ceaseless progress. Just focus on how to learn so that you can use the language fluently and confidently. So, let’s begin learning and persevering with them.
