She focuses a lot on pronunciation with her clients so she is going to help us with that today.
Meaghan’s tips on how to improve pronunciation:
- *If you are from Brazil you should pick up English Pronunciation for Brazilians and if you are not from Brazil you should pick up a book that is targeted to helping people from your country improve pronunciation.
- Use music for pronunciation: This is great because it’s a natural way to learn. Try Lyrics Training. It is a game where you can listen and sing along and there is a gap where you have to type the word you hear.
- Work with a native teacher: Record your voice and have a native teacher correct you. The native teacher can show you exactly where you’re making mistakes. You can use Sound Cloud and the teacher can write notes directly on the audio file.
