The Number One English Pronunciation Tip for English Learners

This tip will take your English pronunciation to the next level. It might sound silly at first, but believe me, your pronunciation will improve.

Start practicing mouth aerobics! Don’t laugh! It works! I promise!

YouTube has a lot of videos with mouth exercises to improve your English pronunciation. You can google specific sounds, or simply “mouth exercises to improve American English pronunciation”. You should do your mouth aerobics every morning to build up the muscles and the muscle memory to significantly improve your pronunciation skills. Pronunciation is not only about the sounds but also about how to correctly reproduce the sounds of English. What exercises you should focus on will vary depending on your first language.

To make sure you know what sounds to focus on, do your research on what sounds are especially difficult for native speakers of your first language. Last but not least, you will be able to cover some ground with these exercises by yourself, but please keep in mind that you will still need an English pronunciation coach to significantly improve. I am, of course, always ready to help even if you just have some questions, please don’t hesitate to email me at office@lingualinkdc.net.
