Today we are learning...PRONUNCIATION...

Why pronunciation is important?

It is important that learners begin to develop their pronunciation of English right from the beginning stages. Bad pronunciation habits become difficult to change and without comprehensible pronunciation, good grammar and vocabulary mean little. Without comprehensible pronunciation, learners will struggle to communicate successfully.

Comprehensible pronunciation does not mean native-like pronunciation. Only a very small portion of adult learners can develop native-like pronunciation, but they can develop comprehensible pronunciation.

Below,there is a video on "7 Commonly Mispronounced English Words". This a tool for you to learn and adapt in your daily conversation, therefore please look and learn those seven words as I will randomly ask in the upcoming class. Enjoy pronouncing!
