So my number one tip for improving your English pronunciation
11
57550
4279
01:03
comes from the fact that
12

01:04
The way we read English is different from the way that we hear it and the way that we say it. Let me explain
13
64989
6410
01:12
when I was learning Spanish I
14
72580
2000
01:15
At first I had a really bad accent
15
75220
3289
01:18
It was really difficult for me to say words in Spanish that were
16
78580
3529
01:22
cognates with English with an IO n ending for example the word
17
82299
4700
01:27
pronunciation if you notice the way, I say the IO n ending in English is
18
87700
4849
01:33
Tion tion is tion, which makes no sense at all
19
93490
4790
01:39
Because it sounds like it should be spelled SH
20
99159
3110
01:42
UN but anyway
21
102460
1820
01:44
That's why we have to pay attention to sounds not the letters so when I was learning Spanish
22
104280
5369
01:49
I really wanted to look at the IO n sound and say
23
109810
5120
01:55
unn or
24
115780
2000
01:57
Tion so instead of saying Princess Fiona I would say put on C
25
117909
6260
02:05
tion
26
125170
1019
02:06
Or something like that that didn't sound very good, so I had to learn to differentiate between the letters
27
126189
7040
02:13
and how I learned to say those letters in my native language which is English and
28
133780
3630
02:18
the sounds
29
138380
1860
02:20
That we use when we speak another language so in your case English in my case in this example Spanish
30
140240
7129
02:27
So that's how I learned to change my pronunciation to improve it and that the IO n in pronunciation
31
147410
5989
02:33
Is e own and not fun like it is in English?
32
153770
5299
02:39
So that's just a small example to illustrate my number one tip which is to stop relating
33
159069
7020
02:47
Sounds in English with the letters because one letter in English can have many many many different sounds so
34
167150
7040
02:54
We have to be ready for that we have to keep an open mind. We know that
35
174440
3979
02:59
th is not just
36
179300
2000
03:01
It can be move or in some cases like in a video
37
181970
4639
03:06
I just made you can click up there to watch it. Th is even a
38
186610
3659
03:11
Sound so we have to really pay attention to the sound and not just the spelling of a word
39
191569
6290
03:17
I hope that's clear. I would love to invite you to comments right now with what are your?
