HOW TO PRACTICE
PRONUNCIATION MASTERY

1) Watch the video lesson once.

2) Practice: listen to the recording once, then listen again,


repeating after the audio. Do it as many times as necessary.

Tip: listening with your eyes closed will improve sound


perception.

4) Keep practing the sound for a couple of days, it will slowly


sink in and soon you’ll notice a clear improvement in your
ability to perceive and produce the sounds.

5) Don’t aim for perfection! Just listen carefully, imitate, and


have fun. As long as you’re working on the sounds, your
pronunciation will naturally get better.
