what should I do about my pronunciation? I feel sad today because when I practice my English speaking my roomates tease my accent all the time. I know that, their English is much more better than me. But I don't know why they always laugh at my accent and learn how I said. I think if they know what mistakes I make with my accent, why not mark it staright rather than humiliate me? If they do that, I will appreciate them. I know I shouldn't care about what they think. Maybe the best way is ignore them and try to correct the wrong accent. I don't want to let them influence me. After all, no matter how many mistakes I make or how slow I progress, I am still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying. THANKS!

What should I do about my pronunciation?

I feel sad today because whenever I practice my spoken English with my roommates, they tease my accent all the time. I know that their English is much better than mine. But, I don't know why they always laugh at my accent and how I say words in English. I think if they know what mistakes I make with my accent, why not correct me straight up, rather than humiliate me? If they ever do that, I will be more appreciative.

I know I shouldn't care about what they think. Maybe the best way is ignore them and try to correct my accent. I don't want to let them affect me. After all, no matter how many mistakes I make or how slow I progress, I am still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying.

THANKS!

*** Hey, Claire! You shouldn't worry about what others think. There will always be people in this world, whom will always put you down. It takes a lot of courage and confidence to ignore them. Just keep practicing and doing your best. Success is always sculpted by pieces of failures. Without failures, there are no success. Use failures to motivate you. Keep trying, you'll eventually get there! Also, listen to English music, watch T.V shows in English, and interact with HELPFUL native speakers as often as you can to improve your pronunciation.

What should I do about my pronunciation?

I feel sad today because when I practice speaking English my roommates tease me about my accent all the time. I know that their English is much better than mine. But I don't know why they always laugh at my accent and how I speak. I think that if they know what mistakes I make with my accent, they should tell me rather than humiliate me. If they did that, I would appreciate them. 

I know I shouldn't care about what they think. Maybe the best way is ignore them and try to improve my accent. (We never describe accents as wrong: they just kind of... are what they are, I guess. If you want to criticize your accent, I suggest using the adjective "poor") I don't want to let them influence me. After all, no matter how many mistakes I make or how slowly I progress, I am still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying.

THANKS!


Good job! I'm sorry to hear that your roommates aren't more supportive. English pronunciation is hard, and you'll only get better if you practice. Making fun of you like this isn't helpful at all. Don't give up! If you keep working at it, I'm sure you'll get better.

You could perhaps pick a recording of someone speaking in your preferred accent, and copy it sentence for sentence, record yourself and compare. Repeat until you're sufficiently satisfied, bearing in mind that it won't be perfect since it's that other person's mother tongue and for you a foreign language. You don't have to tell your room mates, do it while your out walking somewhere remote, or they might find another topic for teasing you (however incorrect they would then be!)

I know I shouldn't care about what they think. Maybe the best way is to  ignore them and try to work on correcting the wrong accent. I don't want to let them influence me. After all, no matter how many mistakes I make or how slow I progress, I am still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying.
