How to improve your pronunciation in English?

Pronunciation is one of the most difficult aspects of learning English.As a rule, people do not pay enough attention to it.However, flawless pronunciation is your calling card, because the way you speak makes the first impression.Today we are going to show you how you can improve your pronunciation in English!

Listen to others

Try to listen to native speakers more, especially howthey articulate sounds.Find native speakers on language sites and ask them to help you with pronunciation.Watch more English-language TV series, YouTube channels, listen to audiobooks, and try to imitate the speech of foreigners.

Listen to yourself

Pay attention to how you pronounce the words and with what intonation you do it.If you are experiencing difficulties, record yourself on a voice recorder and listen to the voice several times.This way you can identify your weaknesses and work on problematic sounds and intonation more thoroughly.

Exercise in front of the mirror

Make it a rule to regularly talk to yourself in front of the mirror.Observe your articulation - how the position of the tongue and lips changes during pronunciation.You can take a video of a carrier and repeat his speech, and then compare whether the words match in articulation.In addition, there are tons of exercises that can also be practiced in front of a mirror :)

Read more out loud

Buy some magazines and books and read themaloud.It may sound funny, but read as loud as you can.This way you will hear yourself better and pronounce the words better.

Practice makes a man perfect

Practice your pronunciation regularly - whether with friends or alone.You cannot improve your pronunciation by listening only to others.Speak more and, if in doubt about the pronunciation of words, repeat them several times.

Good luck!
