Hello, everyone. Today I'll talk about how to improve your pronunciation.
大家好。今天我将谈谈如何提高发音。
Language researchers say pronunciation and fluency are the biggest barriers, followed by grammar, in effective spoken English.
语言研究人员称,发音和流利程度是英语口语中最大的障碍,其次是语法。
However, most people don't regard pronunciation as a very important part of communication skills.
然而,大多数人并不认为发音是沟通技巧的重要组成部分。
They're more focused on vocabulary. One reason is that most people are not even aware of their mispronunciations.
他们更关注词汇。原因之一是,大多数人甚至没有意识到自己的发音错误。
So it's important to first find out the words you mispronounce.
所以首先找出发错音的单词很重要。
You should listen to experts, by experts, I mean those who are less likely to make pronunciation mistakes.
你应该听专家的建议,我指的专家是那些不太可能犯发音错误的人。
When listening to them, pay attention to words that sound strange, strange because you pronounce the same words differently.
听单词发音的时候,要注意那些听起来发音奇怪的单词,因为相同的单词发音不同。
When you come across such words, check a dictionary to confirm their exact pronunciations.
当遇到这样的单词时,查一查字典确认它们的准确发音。
You can also search for difficult-to-pronounce words and names, and make a list of them.
你也可以搜索难发音的单词和名字,并将它们列出来。
The last suggestion is to read aloud. Now you've got the correct pronunciations of the words, it's time to practice reading them every day.
最后一项建议是大声朗读。现在你已经知道了单词的正确发音,是时候每天练习朗读了。
