Pronunciation

Is it important when we are speaking a foreign language to pronounce the sounds correctly? The answer must be - yes! If we are not aware of the sounds of the language, this makes it very difficult for us not only to speak in such a way that people understand us but also when we are listening.

We can also give the wrong meaning to a word if we use the wrong sound and this can lead to misunderstandings, which we want to avoid especially in business situations.
A good way of learning the sound system of English is to use the Phonetic Alphabet. When you know it, you are able to pronounce every word correctly.

The website we have chosen for you is from the BBC. Enjoy using it.
