English pronunciation Improvement

How To Improve Your English Pronunciation:

Pronouncing every word correctly leads to poor pronunciation!
Good pronunciation comes from stressing the right words - this is because English is a time-stressed language.

Difficulty: Hard
Time Required: Varies

Here's How:
1. Learn the following rules concerning pronunciation.

2. English is considered a stressed language while many other languages are considered syllabic.

3. In other languages, such as French or Italian, each syllable receives equal importance (there is stress, but each syllable has its own length).

4. English pronunciation focuses on specific stressed words while quickly gliding over the other, non-stressed, words.

5. Stressed words are considered content words: Nouns e.g. kitchen, Peter -(most) principal verbs e.g. visit, construct - Adjectives e.g. beautiful, interesting - Adverbs e.g. often, carefull

Improve your English pronunciation:

1. Non-stressed words are considered function words: Determiners e.g. the, a - Auxiliary verbs e.g. am, were - Prepositions e.g. before, of - Conjunctions e.g. but, and - Pronouns e.g. they, she

2. Read the following sentence aloud: The beautiful Mountain appeared transfixed in the distance.

3. Read the following sentence aloud: He can come on Sundays as long as he doesn't have to do any homework in the evening.

4. Notice that the first sentence actually takes about the same time to speak well!

5. Even though the second sentence is approximately 30% longer than the first, the sentences take the same time to speak. This is because there are 5 stressed words in each sentence.

6. Write down a few sentences, or take a few example sentences from a book or exercise.

7. First underline the stressed words, then read aloud focusing on stressing the underlined words and gliding over the non-stressed words.

8. Be surprised at how quickly your pronunciation improves! By focusing on stressed words, non-stressed words and syllables take on their more muted nature.

9. When listening to native speakers, focus on how those speakers stress certain words and begin to copy this.

Tips:
1. Remember that non-stressed words and syllables are often 'swallowed' in English.

2. Always focus on pronouncing stressed words well, non-stressed words can be glided over.

3. Don't focus on pronouncing each word. Focus on the stressed words in each sentence.

Here is a Free Teaching Song called "Right here waiting" - Richard Marx -



Its Lyrics Are Here:
Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

Oh can't you see it baby
You've got me goin crazy

Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive this romance
But in the end if I'm with you I'll take the chance

Oh can't you see it baby
You've got me goin crazy

Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
