10 tips to improve your English pronunciation

There are a lot of techniques you should do in order to improve you English pronunciation:

Everyone can speak English clearly


The first thing you should know is that everyone can speak English with a clear pronunciation, everybody has a mouth, a tongue and lips. Everyone can speak every language because there is no difference between human; we are all born with the same mechanism.

English environment


If you really want to improve your English pronunciation, you should be surrounded by English everyday, which means the best thing is to be in a place where we talk only in English, like the USA or Britain or Australia...
If you can't have this situation, you can do it by listening to English everyday, you can listen to English radio, or TV, you can also have some CDs in English...


listen and don't speak


This is one of the biggest differences between children and adults, you should find the solution to this problem to not only improve your English pronunciation but also your global English learning which means English grammar, English speaking...
When someone talks to you or to someone else in English you should not speak at the same time, you should listen, focus on his speaking, his English intonation, which words he stress, which words he doesn't stress...
Never speak when listening to English, always focus on listening first, speaking will come later!


Learn English subconsciously

You must know that you will learn English if you try, you will speak English like a native speaker if you don't stop, but the problem is always the time.
Never try to learn English in a short time, listen always to English and be sure that you will speak it one day, you don't know exactly when but you will learn it.
Always listen to English and don't try anything else, you will learn English subconsciously, believe me!

Focus on listening

If you want to learn English or to improve you English pronunciation without listening to English pronunciation, stop right now!!
You can improve your pronunciation without knowing what is really pronunciation, and you can't know what is English pronunciation if you don't listen to English.

speak slowly

Never try to speak fast, always try to speak English slowly at the first time, you will get faster subconsciously without doing anything, you should pronounce each word correctly, that's the goal!

Practice English

Always practice your English, read out loud, speak English with your friends, practice English everyday, this will help you to know the correct way to stress syllables.

Speak out loud

Never be quiet, always speak out loud, this helps you a lot if you are shy when you speak English.

Record yourself speaking English

And compare your speaking with a native speaker, you will see the mistakes you've done, you will improve your English pronunciation.

Have some English friends

You should have some friends with the same goal as you, friends trying to learn English, you should practice your English with them, tell them if you find something useful to improve your English or if you find a new method, they will also tell you, they help you when you get bored, it's really one of the best things to improve your English.

English Grammar

In this post, we are going to talk a little bit about English grammar.
But first, what is the fastest way to speak English? I'm asking you (comment)

Many students think that English grammar is only way to speak English or to LEARN to speak English, so they start to learn grammar, they buy all the grammar books in the market, they start reading these English grammar books, and finally they don't succeed!

What is the reason they failed to speak English? They studied English but they failed, is there something secret?

Of course there is nothing special, for example; when you are hungry what should you do? of course you should eat!

Imagine someone who feels hungry, and don't eat but he drinks. what do you think? of course he will still hungry!!

That is the same with learning to speak English and English grammar!!!!
Did you know this idea before? did you know it? I'm at 75% that you didn't know it!!!

English learning is very easy but many English schools are trying to make it very difficult, I don't know why but they should have commercial goals!

I didn't say that English schools are useless for everybody, but they are useful for specific categories, not for all English students.

We talked about the free English tool "Google Translate", in fact it's better than many paying English translators!
However, using any English translator can be dangerous for you English learning. Many students use their translator each time they find a word they don't understand, that's the biggest mistake in your English learning!

Never do this mistake! to begin you should only read English articles where you understand 90% of the English vocabulary, the other 10% you will understand it without using an English translator. Believe me you can try it and you will instantly comment this article!

Use your translator only when you find an important word that you found many times and you still don't understand, that is the rule. Do the same thing when you are listening to English.

American expressions

Each language has phrases or sentences that cannot be understood when you study it word by word. Even if you know the meaning of each word of the phrase, the meaning of the phrase stay confusing. That's the definition of an idiom

In English, native speakers use a lot of idiomatic phrases everyday. These idioms can be proverbs, informal phrases or common phrases.

If you want to speak English, or you want to learn English you should spend sometime to learn idioms or to learn about idioms because they are very important in your English learning.

If you study formal English, I mean English grammar and formal phrases, and after that you go to the US maybe you cannot understand one phrase.

To learn this type of idiomatic phrases in English you should be a good listener, you should spend all your time listening to English. You should listen to one English idiom more than 40 times to have it in your brain.

You can't find English idioms if you study grammar or if you study English at schools.

The only way to learn English idioms is to listen to native speakers and whenever you hear a phrase that is not understandable (and you understand each word individually) you open your book and you see the meaning. When you hear this same phrase another time, you may understand it, and then you will learn to use this idiom.

Learning English idioms takes a lot of time because there are thousands or millions.

You will never learn all English idioms, but you should know at least 500 American expressions, the most used ones.

Don't open your book to look for idioms and to learn them, open it only when you hear a weired expression

And now I will give you an example of English idioms, an American expression that is used a lot by native speakers:

Above and beyond: it means more than is required
Let's put it in phrase: His efforts were above and beyond! It means that he had done all what he had to do, AND he has also done an additional work.

If you don't have a book of English idioms, or you don't know which book to choose, I advice you to don't waste your time looking for English idioms books because I just selected some ones for you:

Learn English like a child:

The child of three years old can do it. You too!

What's The child's secret to speak English:

The child never think he is learning a language or something, that's the number one advantage for him to speak English fluently. He doesn't have these negative feelings, but the adult is always thinking "I'm learning English. I did not succeed. What should I do to speak English?..."
