SOUNDING LIKE NATIVE SPEAKER

I’m sure; all of you want to watch this video because you want to pronounce better
every word when you speak English.

You are in the right place. This is an imitation channel; you can learn how to sound
more than native speaker.

While you can study English from a textbook or a webpage, it doesn’t really matter
if you are not able to speak it. You can store up all the English vocabulary you
want, but if English speakers cannot understand you, when you communicate a
message to them, it has all been for nothing. In addition, if you have plans to work
with English speakers, then you need to speak the language well enough to be
taken seriously.

The pronunciation is the first impression that another person gets when they hear
your English.

Now incredibly, good pronunciation can actually raise the level of your English. It
can bring it up.

Mistakes are easier to ignore if you sound good, if the listener can understand the
words that comes out from your mouth.

But, poor pronunciation can actually bring the level of your English down because
even you are speaking perfect English grammar, your English level seems to be
lower because the listener can’t understand your words; what you’re saying.

 PRONUNCIATION MATTERS

First, you must understand that pronunciation matters. You can study
vocabulary from a textbook, but if you do not learn how to pronounce the words
correctly, your speaking skills will be ineffective.

For example the word “Study” in English, we read /ˈstAdi/ but most of the
beginner of some foreign countries will read it “studi”.
That’s why, it is critical to not only read the words in a textbook but also to learn
how to say them. A good rule is to listen to the words as you read them, which is
where language apps can be especially helpful.

 Pay Attention with Your Ears

We cannot emphasize the importance of listening enough. You have to do your

very best to listen well. We understand this can be difficult at first as you are
beginning to learn the language and may get lost in the conversation. However,
simply listening to people speak English is a great learning opportunity. For
example, you will begin to learn how and when words are stressed.

Listening to podcast good way to learn English?

Podcasts are a great way to learn English. Not only can you hear real English
conversations, so you can tell how words are pronounced, but you can listen to
them anywhere, and pause or rewind them whenever you like — you can really
learn your way!

 LOOK AT THE MOUTH AND MIMIC OF THE NATIVE SPEAKER,

THEN, WATCH YOUR MOUTH!

Phonetics is the study of speech sounds. The way a person makes these speech
sounds and articulates words is shaped, literally; by the way they use their mouth.
Therefore, you can improve your ability to speak English like a native speaker by
studying mouth movements. Besides that, it’s been said that “imitation is the
highest form of flattery.” When it comes to language learning, imitation is a
wonderful tool. Make a point to imitate those native English speakers who speak
well.

You-Tube app has an entire collection of online videos of all the consonant and
vowel sounds in the English language. Either way, pay attention to how this
individual speaks and mimic him or her. Watch those videos and then practice in
front of the mirror. Watch your mouth!
  USE IDIOMS, GET THE SLANG

Native speakers use lots of idioms and phrases in their spoken communication.
Idioms do not make sense when understood literally. Some of the examples are in
the blink of an eye ("very fast") or it's a piece of cake ("easy") can add a level of
sophistication to your English and make you sound more like a native speaker.

Besides that, Native speakers use lots of kinds of slang.

Different native speakers use different kinds of slang in their course of

communication. However, there are some examples of slang that a wide range of
English speakers use, For instance: Wanna (want to), Gonna (going to), Hang out
(spend time together).

In an informal/friendly setting, a native speaker would say "Do you wanna hang
out?" instead of "Do you want to spend some time together?" If you do hang out,
the next day your friend might say, "We had a blast yesterday." That means that
he/she had a really fun time. But if he/she tells others that "you drove him/her up
the wall," that means he/she was irritated by you.

 PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE

Next, it is imperative to make practicing English a part of your daily routine.

Motivation, Repetition and Exposure. The more you practice speaking like a native
English speaker, the more likely you will be able to in conversation. Practice in
front of your mirror. Practice with friends. Practice with language partners. Try
reading aloud. Consider memorizing famous speeches. Sing popular songs. And,
when you do, record yourself so you can listen to see where you sound like a
native speaker and where you need more help.
