Now I told you before that learning English pronunciation is all about learning 2 things. 1, you must learn the sounds of English and 2, you must learn to use the correct rhythm of English. Let me explain how you will learn these 2 very important keys to English pronunciation. Let’s start with learning the sounds of English. There are 56 different sounds used in the English language. You do not have to learn all 56 sounds in this course. The sounds you’ll be working on are only those sounds that you are saying incorrectly. Based on your first language, there are generally some sounds that tend to be more difficult for you. Your initial evaluation also tells us which sounds you need to work on. For every sound you will work on during this course you will follow the same pattern. First, I will explain how the sound is made by showing you the correct mouth shape and movement. Next, you will do a listening exercise or quiz to help you tune your ear to the correct sound, verses the sound you are making. Next, you will practice saying the correct sound in words, then in sentences, and then you’ll practice the correct sound while reading a paragraph.
