You are right! Pronunciation is important for clear communication, but it’s sometimes hard to work on. Here are a few simple tips: 1) SPEAK- you cannot learn pronunciation by listening and reading only. So even if you are by yourself, you can record your voice reading or speaking about a topic. That will help your muscles feel more relaxed and get used to hearing yourself which will help you feel less embarrassed or nervous. 2) REPEAT- start with sounds, then move on to words, and then sentences. Example: /V/ put your top teeth on the bottom lip, vibrate the sound. Then try” vest, very, have, leave.” Then- I have to leave and find the very best vest. Pronunciation is not like other English skills, but it is so much fun to learn! Why are you improving? Work, travel, study, something else?
