Pronunciation is always an extremely large obstacle on the way towards speaking English fluently. This is distinctive because of the many accents there are under the English language. Uncertainty may come in as a result and you may not know the proper pronunciation of a word. Understandably, you will have that problem of saying words free from error. Here are some vital tips which would help you to improve your spoken English ability: •Produce a great amount of audio information about the spoken English language and word usage. Listen to them like you are listening to your favorite music or to a special someone telling you he loves you. •Read a paragraph and use a tape recorder to record the way you say that paragraph. Listen to yourself. Use a tape recorder to record your voice as you read the proper pronunciation of each vowel and consonants. You may compare similar words from your recording with your audio materials. Do re-recordings of pronounced words until you are comply with how you are able to say them? •Watch an English movie and take note of the different accents there are. •Look at the mirror and notice how your jaw drops or how your lips fold as you mimic the correct pronunciation of words. Try making this as part of your habit. •Practice and practice. Aside from reading and listening, go ahead and talk to people who are native English speakers or very good in pronunciation of English words. Apply what you have learned and ask for tips. •Be open to suggestions while you listen and speak the language with your partner. •Go online, join a voice chat program or enroll in English conversational classes. There are great online English courses which are affordable and will address your individual needs. •Learn to tongue-twist. It helps you exercise your jaw for better pronunciation of words. It is recommended to say tongue-twisters at least once a day in front of the mirror. Refrain from jumping from one tongue-twister to another - try mastering one set before moving on to the next tongue-twisting activity. As an overall and fine note, gear on your bags and go whole hog acing English speaking. There are many training centers today which offer English speaking courses. Also there are plenty of books and audio video tutorials available for the same. Don't forget you can change the way you speak only if you are willing to put some effort into it.
