LESSON 1 · Pronunciation Breakthrough
Your Pronunciation Improvement Plan
Follow this daily routine to start seeing progress over time:
- Record yourself reading a short paragraph once a week and compare over time
- Identify your top 3 sounds by asking a native speaker or using a pronunciation app
- Practice in isolation for 2 minutes, then in minimal pairs (ship/sheep, vine/wine)
- Slow down — speed hides problems, and clarity at slow speed can transfer to fast speech
- Shadow native speakers — play a sentence, pause, repeat with the same rhythm and sounds
Perfect pronunciation is not the goal. Clear pronunciation is.
