ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION

​Pronouncing words correctly requires "speaking".  Only listening will NOT improve your pronunciation.
Record your "speaking" and then "listen"!

ESL Tips

To improve your pronunciation:
  1. ​​You must  record your word or sentence.

  2. ​Then replay it.

  3. You continue the process until you are pronouncing correctly.
​
Only listening is not the best way to improve your pronunciation.  You have to practice recording your voice.

** Use the Vocaroo below.

Pronunciation:

When you see two 'T's in the middle of a word, make the 'D' sound.  The word 'better' is pronounced 'bedder'.   YouTube AEA
