Whether you're trying to perfect your English accent or just need help with the

tricky parts of English pronunciation, our easy exercises and interactive

printables will help you sound more like a native speaker and improve your
pronunciation skills in no time.
1. Tongue twister exercises
Tongue twisters are tricky, but they can force you to enunciate similar sounding
words to make each phrase intelligible.

For example, "Peter Piper" can help you learn to enunciate consonants (in this
case, "P"). "A Proper Cup of Coffee" emphasizes P's and F's while employing a
variety of vowel sounds.

You don't have to start out fast. Take it slow the first few times and speed up
gradually. Read along and practice for yourself.

Homograph exercise
Homographs are words that have the same spelling but different meanings - and
sometimes, different pronunciations. For instance, you can "bow" before royalty
("ow" sound) or use a bow ("oh" sound) to shoot an arrow. An entrance, with the
accent on the first syllable, is a noun meaning a way in; to entrance, with the
accent on the second syllable, is a verb meaning to delight.

Homographs should not be confused with homophones, which sound alike but are
different, such as "two," "to," and "too." Then there are homonyms. A homonym is a
word that's pronounced the same as another word but carries a different meaning.
One example is "spring," which can be a coiled piece of metal, a season, a water
source, or a verb meaning to shoot forth.
