🔹 1️⃣ Focus on Common Difficult Sounds:
Some English sounds are particularly challenging for non-native speakers. In this video, we’ll break down how to pronounce the following sounds clearly:
/θ/ as in “think”
/ð/ as in “this”
/ʃ/ as in “she”
/z/ as in “zoo”
/æ/ as in “cat”

🔹 2️⃣ Common Pronunciation Mistakes:
Mispronouncing vowels: English has many vowel sounds that don’t exist in other languages.
Example: “bit” vs. “beat.”
Misplacing stress in words or sentences:
Example: “REcord” (noun) vs. “reCORD” (verb).

🔹 3️⃣ Tips for Clearer Pronunciation:
Slow down: Speak more slowly to focus on clarity.
Repeat words and sounds: Practice by repeating after native speakers.
Record yourself: Listen to your own pronunciation and compare it to correct versions.
Use minimal pairs: Practice pairs of words that differ in just one sound (e.g., “ship” vs. “sheep”).

🔹 4️⃣ Stress and Intonation:
Stress: In English, some syllables in words are stressed more than others. The stressed syllable is louder, longer, and higher in pitch.
Example: “phoTOgraph” (noun) vs. “phoTOgraphy” (verb).
Intonation: The rise and fall of your voice when speaking can change the meaning of a sentence. Practice using the correct intonation for questions, statements, and exclamations.
Example:
Statement: “I’m going to the store.”
Question: “Are you going to the store?”
