Pronunciation

Pronunciation is difficult for many non-native English speakers.    Practicing the basic sounds slowly, clearly, and often is the key to correct pronunciation. We recommend that you practice in very short time durations (Maximum of five minutes.)  Concentrate and make great effort to pronounce these sounds the same way you hear them.  Do this daily, several times a day in very short practice sessions.  You will be surprised how much you will improve!
