How to Improve English Pronunciation?
Good day. While chatting with my neighbor, she mentioned a language app she's been using, and it got me thinking about how I could improve my own English pronunciation. I thought you might have some tips to share.

Greeting to you, Ethel_Ethel.


English pronunciation could be very tricky. A single letter could have various pronunciations. A word could even have a different meaning if you pronounced it differently. As a non-native English speaker, I experienced these struggles as well. Here are some tips I personally went through to improve my pronunciation.


1. Listen and sing English songs. 

This is a fun way of learning if you are keen on music. You can learn more English words and how to pronounce them while vibing to the music you're into.


2. Listen to audiobooks.

While listening to audiobooks, make sure that you have a hard copy of the book you are hearing. This way you can follow the words with your eyes as you hear the speaker narrate the story. Listening to audiobooks can also improve your vocabulary and grammar.


3. Watch movies or TV series with English subtitles.

This is just like listening to audiobooks, the difference is that you don't have to hold a book while listening. You can read the subtitles with your eyes as you listen to the characters throw their lines. This is more entertaining to some people than just listening to someone tell them a story through their earphones.


These are effective ways I did while improving my English skills. I hope these would help you too.
