I’ve heard a lot of students' speaking samples in my courses, and today I’d like to address a few of the pronunciation mistakes that I’ve been correcting.
First of all, don’t feel bad if you make a pronunciation mistake! It’s really easy to do this in English, especially because we have so many similar sounds and so many words that are pronounced differently from the way they’re written.
So if you mess up a word – don’t be embarrassed, it’s not the end of the world. I can usually understand what you were trying to say.
Let's practice together so that you can improve your English pronunciation!
When it comes to pronunciation, practice makes perfect. You need to repeat English words many times in order to learn to say them easily and naturally. It's also important to have someone correct any mistakes, so that you don't form bad pronunciation habits.
You can get both practice and evaluation inside my courses - American English Pronunciation and Shadowing with Shayna.
These courses have lots of exercises to help you repeat after me and pronounce words and sentences the right way. At the end of each course, I'll listen to a recording of your pronunciation and give you feedback.
