Pronounciation Tips
English Pronunciation Tips:
1. The most important
thing to remember is practice.
2. Learning English takes time
but if you practice often you will soon improve and be able
to pronounce words like a native speaker.
3. Practice pronunciation in
front of a mirror.
4. You have to train your mouth
to move in new ways in order to make new sounds.
5. Watch your mouth as you
speak.
6. Think about each word before
you say it. Try to imagine the position your mouth needs
to be in to produce the sound.
7. What you see is not always
what you get.
8. Remember that the spelling
of words and their pronunciation are often different.
9. Recognize that the English
language has many different dialects depending on the country
and the different regions within a particular country.
Pronunciation and Accent:
Pronunciation teachers usually agree that there are three
basic levels of English pronunciation. 1:-
People usually don’t understand
what you are saying.
2:- People
usually understand what you are saying but you may have
to repeat your statements for clarification.
3:- People
understand what you are saying the first time. This level
is the goal of most English language learners.
Many non-native
speakers worry about having an obvious accent when they
speak English. This is unavoidable and depends on
where you study English. Realize that the English spoken
in England, Australia or Canada is different than the English
spoken in the United States. Even within these countries
there is a wide range of accents. People from New York speak
different English than people from California. Realize though,
that if your pronunciation is good, you will be understood
anywhere you go. To achieve a “standard
accent” in any country, listen to news broadcasts
to get an idea of what typical native speakers in that area
sound like.
