Tips for improving your English pronunciation.

 

It's time to improve our English pronunciation!!!

Hello Folks! You know that any English language learner knows that often spelling isn’t very helpful if we want to know how to correctly say a word. Take a look at this sentence, focusing on the words in bold - do you know how to pronounce them?

"The man didn't feel very comfortable in his grey suit. He didn't enjoy wearing smart clothes, and when he wore them he felt a subtle difference in his personality."

So, how can you work on your pronunciation so that people from all over the world can understand you easily, even if you retain your native accent? Here are some tips for you to practice and perfect your pronunciation.

Listen to music!

Listening to music in English will definitely enhance your language comprehension. English music improves your listening skills and increases your vocabulary. Music even helps your pronunciation. As you listen to the lyrics, you will be exposed to new English words.

Watch movies in English!!!

Watching series on Netflix might not exactly improve your debating skills or formal register, but it helps you to understand the language better, get used to colloquial, conversational forms of English and implicitly get a feeling for the language. Also, you could try to pick out words that sound highly informal and look up their more scholarly counterparts. 

 Change the language on your social media or smartphone!!!

Have you ever accidentally changed the language on a device or on a website and then struggled to get it back again? We’ve all been there before. However, this can actually be a good way of learning an additional language. If you turn your Facebook, Twitter and smartphone settings to ‘English’ then you can continue to learn the language while you’re communicating with friends.

Thanks folks! See you next week!!
