 Tips
• Observe the mouth movements of those who speak English well and try to imitate
them.

• Until you learn the correct intonation and rhythm of English, slow your speech down.

• Read aloud in English for 15-20 minutes every day. 

• Record your own voice and listen for pronunciation mistakes.

• Watch the English news on television channels like Star World, CNN, BBC and English
movies on Star Movies and HBO.

• Listen to and sing English songs. We'd recommend Westlife, Robbie Williams, Abba,
Skeeter Davis and Connie Francis among others.
