Do you have a hard time pronouncing certain sounds in English? Do you believe that it’s nearly impossible to improve your accent? I’m here to tell you that you can greatly improve your pronunciation in a short time.
It’s going to take an open mind, consistent effort, and experimentation with new ways, but it’s not as hard as you may believe. With pronunciation, a little effort goes a long way.
1.Lifestyle English: Listen to Podcasts Every Day
Podcasts Teaching Pronunciation: There are some great podcasts dealing with pronunciation. Podcasts are free, downloadable audio programs that you can put on your MP3 player. They are a marvelous choice because you can listen in your car or on the bus while you’re stuck in traffic, or whenever convenient for you.
2. Practice: Read Out Loud Every Day
This is specifically for people who have already learned some degree of correct pronunciation, because reading without correct pronunciation, or a teacher helping you, you’re just reinforcing poor pronunciation. Before you start, you should at least have some idea of what it feels like to pronounce things correctly.
3. Self-Awareness: Record Yourself Speaking
Record yourself reading out loud on a tape recorder or a computer. At first, it will be really difficult to listen to your own voice. Relax, as you will get used to it pretty quickly. Most people hate their voice, even in their own native language, so the combination of your voice and hearing yourself speak a foreign language for the first time will be painful, but it’s a necessary step in developing the self-awareness to improve. You could even record yourself reading the same reading passage every day or every week.
