My Easy Tips to Get Better English Pronunciation

         I got so many questions about how do I learn my English pronunciation. That is why I made this post and want to share with others.

         The biggest thing that people will notice about our English is our pronunciation. Pronunciation is related to what the first people hear when we are speaking English. It is like a first impression of our English ability. No matter how bad the grammar we use, or how limited the vocabulary we have, as long as we have a good pronunciation, we will sound very good in English. Vice versa, when we are speaking English using incredible grammar and amazing vocabularies but we don’t pronounce the words correctly, those incredible grammar and amazing vocabularies will not help us. People may get difficulties to understand what we say and also if our pronunciation is poor, they will think about us as people who speak bad English.

Saving Conversation By Not Interrupting

            4 months, 12 days ago at 2 pm, I was sitting in one of my favorite places, a cafe library, listened to someone in front of me who was talking about himself, and successfully ruined my day. It should be a date, but it seems like I was attending seminar with speaker talking, all the times, and I’m a participant who has to listen to him, all the times. That was the first thing which ruined my feeling on that day, but unfortunately that was not the last. The most annoying thing during my date was, he interrupted me many times! I realize that communication is the art of speaking and listening. I was trying to be a good listener for him, but unfortunately he wasn’t. It is all about, interrupting.
