There are three levels of English pronunciation:
I think that most people worry about how they sound when speaking a new language and I want to help reduce that anxiety for English learners.
I recommend listening to sound recordings whenever you’re in doubt and repeat, repeat, repeat. I like this online dictionary because it provides both the American and British English pronunciation of words. (The example word is thought.)
A lot of people have trouble with the ‘th’ sound in English words. Correct pronunciation requires placing the tip of your tongue between your teeth and then forcing air over your tongue and under your top teeth. Try it! Also, it’s important to know that there are two sounds for ‘th’: voiced and unvoiced.
Listen to the difference and practice it for yourself!
