Improve British Pronunciation. Reader Stories: How I Improved My English Pronunciation From Deniz, About.com Guest My most important tip for good pronunciation is: Having good pronunciation is not very easy way. But nobody can say it is difficult. If you want to improve the British pronunciation, do not forget the fact that emphasis takes place over the second and the third syllables of the word. Listening should be the first step and repetition and imitation should be the second step. How does it work? Firstly, You can record your pronunciation on the tape to check how well and how accurate your pronunciation is. How I Did It One of the most significant ways to improve my pronunciation is listening the foreign channels such as BBC, CNN, Euro news systematically. If you have difficulty in adopting the desired pronunciation easily, you can listen an English speaking CD ,using headphones before going into sleep. Let the CD work and let the headphones on your ears during the sleep period of yours. When you wake up in the morning, you are going to realize that your pronunciation has been changed as it should be. If you have any doubt, you can try and see the positive results. Tips and Tricks English people generally have difficulty in understanding the way of speech with which they are not familiar if they are not well educated. In 1990, I was in Norwich, England. A few times I needed to phone a taxi to go from the school where I had education to the city center. I spoke on the phone formal “Would you send me a car I am waiting in front of …….” The man or woman on the phone used to start to speak very slowly as if I was a new comer to England. One day I wanted the secretary at the school to phone a taxi, I wondered how to address to the man on the phone. She said “Is there a chance to send me a car ?”
The Importance of Speaking Practice. There are 4 key skills when you learn a language: 1. listening 2. speaking 3. reading 4. writing Which one of these is the “Odd-One-Out”? Which one of these is different from the other three? The answer is speaking. The other three you can do alone, on your own, without anyone else. You can listen to the radio alone. You can read a book alone. You can write a letter alone. But you can’t really speak alone! Speaking to yourself can be “dangerous” because men in white coats may come and take you away!! That is why you should make every effort possible to find somebody to speak with. Where can you find people who can speak English with you? And how can you practice speaking when you are alone? At School If you go to a language school, you should use the opportunity to speak to your teachers and other students. When you go home, you can still practice listening, reading and writing, but you probably can’t practice speaking. If your teacher asks you a question, take the opportunity to answer. Try to say as much as possible. If your teacher asks you to speak in pairs or groups with other students, try to say as much as possible. Don’t worry about your mistakes. Just speak! Conversation Clubs Many cities around the world have conversation clubs where people can exchange one language for another. Look in your local newspaper to find a conversation club near you. They are usually free although some may charge a small entrance fee. Shopping If you are living in an English-speaking country, you have a wonderful opportunity. Practice speaking to the local people such as shop assistants or taxi drivers. Even if you don’t want to buy anything, you can ask questions about products that interest you in a shop. “How much does this cost?” “Can I pay by cheque?” “Which do you recommend?” Often you can start a real conversation – and it costs you nothing! Pubs and Bars Even if you don’t live in an English-speaking country, there are often American, British, Irish and Australian pubs in many large cities. If you can find one of these pubs, you’ll probably meet many people speaking English as a first or second language. Language is all around You Everywhere you go you find language. Shop names, street names, advertisements, notices on buses and trains… Even if you are not in an English-speaking country, there are often a lot of English words you can see when walking in the street, especially in big cities. And there are always numbers. Car numbers, telephone numbers, house numbers… How can this help you? When you walk down the street, practice reading the words and numbers that you see. Say them to yourself. It’s not exactly a conversation, but it will help you to “think” in English. For example, if you walk along a line of parked cars, say the number on each car quickly as you pass it. Test yourself, to see how fast you can walk and still say each number. But don’t speak too loud! Songs and Video Listen to the words of an English-language song that you like. Then repeat them to yourself and try to sing with the music. Repeat the words as many times as possible until they become automatic. Soon you’ll be singing the whole song. Or listen to one of your favorite actors on video and repeat one or two sentences that you like. Do it until it becomes automatic. It’s good practice for your memory and for the mouth muscles that you need for English. Above all, don’t be afraid to speak. You must try to speak, even if you make mistakes. You cannot learn without mistakes. There is a saying: “The person who never made a mistake never made anything.” So think of your mistakes as something positive and useful. Speak as much as possible! Make as many mistakes as possible! When you know that you have made a mistake, you know that you have made progress. (Resource: http://www.englishclub.com)
