James hello what are you doing here  classes has finished you can go home  

hello teacher yeah sorry to bother  you but I want to know something

please all right I have another class  in about 10 minutes but tell me how can  

I help you thank thank you I want to improve  my pronunciation please can you help me with

that your pronunciation but you're doing  well your pronunciation is not that bad

James yeah maybe but I want it to  sound better more native please  

help me of course I'm going to tell  you how to improve your pronunciation

then many people ask me how they can tell  if a word is pronounced correctly or not  

this is easy to know and this is the first  thing you have to know you probably already  

use a dictionary to translate English words  but online or digital dictionaries can offer  

many additional benefits including  pronunciation guides these kinds of  

dictionaries are some of the most useful  tools you can have for practicing English

pronunciation and you know what is the best thing  about it they are available online for free yeah  

all right I will give you some examples um Google  Translate is the most famous now if you're just  

looking for pronunciation help typing Google  search how to say insert word you will get both  

an audio pronunciation guide which you can slow  down and also and a visual guide that shows how  

your MTH MTH should move when saying the word it  is amazing another ones are fluent you foro word  

reference Etc again I have to tell these are not  recommendations they're just examples they don't  

pay us to mention them another good method that  still works is break words down into sounds I will  

explain it to you words are made up of syllables  or parts the word syllable for example has three  

syllables syllable turning words into Parts can  make them easier to pronounce you should try

that there is a simple way to know  how many syllables a word has pay

attention place your hand flat just  under your chin now you have to say the  

word slowly each time your chin touches  your hand that's a syllable incredible

Right add stress to sounds and words English is  a stressed language what does it mean that means  

some words and sounds are more important than OTS  you can hear this when you say a word out loud  

for example the word introduce is pronounced  with a stress at the end so it sounds like

introduce sometimes where you put the stress  in a word can change the words meaning

I will give you one example say this word out

loud if you said present you are talking about  a noun that means either right this moment or a  

gift if you said present you are talking  about a verb that means to give or show

you need to remember that most two  syllable nouns are stressed on the first

syllable and most two syllable verbs  are stressed on the second syllable like

present okay I know what you're thinking  teacher memorizing these rules are very  

complicated I'll tell you something if this  all sounds too complicated don't worry about  

memorizing all these rules the best way  to learn is by listening and practicing  

remember that most native English speakers  don't know the rules either they just say  

what sounds right with enough practice you  can get what sounds right too ask yourself  

which dialect of English you want to learn  what do I mean do you want to sound like  

you're from America or England Australia or New  Zealand maybe Canada or South Africa choosing  

your dialect of English is one of the first  decisions to make on your English learning

Journey not not only it will determine  much of the vocabulary you learn but  

will also drastically affect your  pronunciation the two most common  

types of English for ESL students are  probably American English and British  

English watching movies and TV shows are  fantastic ways to learn English and pick up

accents I love watching TV series because you  have hours of content and you learn to understand  

character's accents over time for example I  learned a lot watching friends I memorized a  

lot of words thanks to that series now something  that really works to improve your pronunciation is

exaggerate believe it or not exaggerating these  sounds will likely make it easier for native  

speakers to understand you you may think you sound  Corning because you aren't used to making these

sounds but for a native speaker  you'll sound way more authentic  

than a foreigner who is Shi about the

sounds exaggerate exaggerate the sound  until you feel ridiculous exaggerate  

until you're sure it's so over the top that  people are going to make fun of you but why

teacher eventually you will be so used to the  

shape your mouth makes that  you won't be conscious of

exaggerating and you won't be thinking of  English pronunciation rules as you speak and

then that's when you know you're in  the path to fluency so don't forget

it practice with tongue twisters when speaking  English do you sometimes struggle with similar

sounds like sh and or the short and long long  e sounds don't worry you're not the only one  

tongue twisters can be a fun but tricky  way to practice the difference between two

sounds here's a little example of a tongue  twister she sells seash shells by the

seashore and I want to ask you do you know  more tongue twisters write them on the

comments I sure have more tips to improve  pronunciation James but I have to start
