Pronunciation

Be better understood by pronouncing words correctly. Find online resources to help you with your pronunciation, intonation, pitch and sentence stress.

Quick tips for pronunciation practise

  • Listen to native speaker audio, then record your own version. Compare, then try again and again.
  • Practise saying whole sentences rather than just individual words.
  • When you learn new vocabulary, make sure to learn which syllable is stressed.
  • Reading aloud is a great way to practise your pronunciation, even if you are by yourself!

You can find more resources in the Self-access Library and in the Software folder on LLC computers.
