English
Word Pronunciation:
Improve that Accent!
_________________________
Why is English word pronunciation
important?
Have you noticed that sometimes, even though you can speak English well, have a
good vocabulary, and use grammar properly, something still does not sound natural? Or
in other words, your foreign accent is just too obvious… This can also make
understanding you more difficult for other people.
This could be a common problem among English learners. Each comes from a
different country, a different language, with its different pronunciation ways
and accents.
However, is it unchangeable? Do you have to keep your original accent when
speaking English?
That depends on how hard-working you are in practicing the new sounds. But
let's agree on one thing: with some decent practicing you can definitely
improve your pronunciation and your accent!
What Makes an
Accent?
Accent seems so natural to us, that we
sometimes forget what makes an accent.
Basically, the way you pronounce each sound of the language affects your
overall accent.
For example, the sound of the letter R is pronounced differently by Spanish,
German and English speakers. The same is true for many other sounds. And so you
get your accent…
The method to improve your English accent, or your English word pronunciation,
is to practice the proper ways to pronounce the sounds of English.
Each sound is produced in a certain way, and when you produce it right, it
sounds natural.
Here you have a special step by step tutorial, which will gradually lead you
through the different English sounds. And hopefully, after completing it, you
will not be the same person! Or at least, you will not have the same
accent…
The tutorial is composed of explanations, examples, exercises
and videos. The videos were collected from several sources, and from different
English teachers. These teachers share their skill and knowledge with us in the
most efficient way – videos. And this is truly awesome.
So do this tutorial! Learn to speak English...
