Tips to improve our English Pronunciation

Many people face a lot of difficulty while trying to learn English word pronunciation. The biggest reason for this is that many words of the language are not pronounced the same way as they are spelt. Hence, you may have to concentrate on learning the correct pronunciation of words while learning English. However, by regular practice, you will be able to get a good hold on the words.

To do your best in the shortest amount of time possible, you can follow the following tips.

Keep the grammar part as easy as it could be. Start by leaning and following basic grammar rules. Do not opt for learning long and complex sentences to begin with as they make the language appear more complicated than it really is. Your primary objective in the beginning is to speak English as fast and as fluently as possible.

Secondly, not all words are pronounced as they are spelt. Hence, lay emphasis on learning the right pronunciation for every new word that you learn. Polish your English speaking skills by pronouncing each and every word clearly and correctly until you memorize it by heart. Remember, proper speech is the next logical step after you've grasped the basics of English properly.

Finally, find a person who has good English. Preferably, find someone who is a native English speaker and who can speak the language fluently. Practice by communicating with him or her. Use all your knowledge and experience that you've gained till now and try to make sure you speak as fluently as possible. One thing to remember is that it's perfectly alright to mispronounce a word or two or even more. This is quite normal when you're just starting out and will go away with regular practice. Make mental notes of where you go wrong while communicating and correct those mistakes the next time you speak.

Do not feel uncomfortable even when you are talking to a native English speaker. Stick to the basic rules of English grammar and use proper sentences and word forms. This is the best way to speak flawless English. Avoid complex sentences which may confuse you and make things even more difficult. Only when you've cleared your basics and practiced speaking with native English speakers a lot should you move to complex sentences. Focus on improving your English speaking capabilities and then move to other areas.
