This will allow you to travel (almost) all over the world avoiding any problems linked to linguistic misunderstandings.<\/p>\n<p class=\" translation-block\">Secondly, having a high level of English \u2013 and therefore excellent pronunciation \u2013 is fundamental within the working world. In today\u2019s business landscape where having good knowledge of the English language can\u2019t be overlooked, improving your pronunciation will help reduce your foreign accent and as a result, sound as neutral as possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\" translation-block\">It is a skill that is very much appreciated by employers, especially if you want to work abroad. You can also add it to your CV to give your language profile an extra boost.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to improve your English pronunciation<\/h2>\n<p class=\" translation-block\">Now you have understood all of the above, let\u2019s get to the point: what can you do on your own to improve your English pronunciation?<\/p>\n<p class=\" translation-block\">In my opinion, the most important piece of advice I can share with you is this: record yourself. When you practice speaking, use your phone or computer to record yourself and then listen to the recording. This is the only way to really hear, understand and then correct any errors.<\/p>\n<p class=\" translation-block\">Another very useful exercise is to listen to English songs and watch English films with subtitles (in English obviously). Following on from listening to songs and films, you should also practice shadowing: this means listening to a sentence and then trying to repeat it, whilst focusing on imitating the exact sounds and the pronunciation.<\/p>\n<p class=\" translation-block\">Finally, if your goal is to sound as similar as possible to an English mother tongue speaker, you must also study the phonetic framework: the International Phonetic Alphabet, IPA which is basically the visual representation of sounds. To do this you must find a classic English dictionary, under every word entry you will see the word expressed in phonemes. Once you have learnt to recognise these symbols, they will be an invaluable tool in helping you to improve your English pronunciation in no time.<\/p>\n<p class=\" translation-block\">If you want to receive more tips on how to improve your English pronunciation, please don\u2019t hesitate to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/peterluntz.com\/contact-me\/\" target=\"_self\">contact me<\/a>.
