Strategies to improve your pronunciation

Detalles de la lección

This lesson is intended for all levels: beginner, intermediate, or advanced.

Do you have a hard time telling some English sounds apart? Do you need some help saying these confusing sounds correctly? Let's work on your pronunciation!

Learning outcome: after this lesson, you should be able to (1) hear the difference between English consonants that might sound similar; (2) begin to get a feel for how to say these consonants accurately in words.

Some examples of consonants we can work on:
  • r as in "rake" vs. l as in "lake"
  • th as in "thank" vs. s as in "sank"
  • th as in "they" vs. d as in "day"
  • b as in "berry" vs. v as in "very"
These are just examples - I encourage you to come to the lesson with any English sounds you're having trouble with!

We will begin the lesson by giving you many examples of contrasting word pairs. During this listening practice, there will be a card game for you to pick out the sounds you hear.

Then we will move on to pronunciation practice. I will watch and listen as you say the sounds, and I will give you detailed feedback to make your consonants more accurate.

At the end of the lesson, I will give you some lists of words to practice, along with tips to help you work on the sounds on your own.
