  • Could you pass me another napkin?

  • Sing along to a favorite song?

  • All right, so the first tip for improving your pronunciation is to sing along to a favorite song.

  • So if you I should add, though this favorite song should be in your target language.

  • So if you're studying English, pick a favorite English song and sing along to that song or try to sing to the song just from memory, too.

  • So singing along to your favorite song can help you with pronunciation can help you with the rhythm sometimes of, ah, the language you're tryingto learn, so it can be really fun.

  • And it can be a good way to practice your pronunciation.

  • It is sentence.

  • I like singing along to my favorite songs read out loud.

  • The next tip for your pronunciation is to read out loud, so reading out loud you can choose something that's interesting for you, and you're in English.

  • If English is the language you're studying, so pick something.

  • Maybe it's a news article, or maybe it's a book you're interested in.

  • Maybe there's an author you're interested in.

  • Find something in your target language in English and try reading it out loud.

  • So don't just read in your mind.

  • But read the words out loud, speak them so that you can get comfortable pronouncing those words.

  • Ah, and you can try reading Ah, the same passage or the same sentence multiple times to make it smoother.

  • Ah, so this could be a really good tip for And I think it also improves your natural ability to pick up grammar, too.

  • Because if you're reading something like in a book, for example, you can kind of pick up the natural rhythm of grammar, and you also slowly get a feeling for the correct ways that words should connect together.

  • So this, I think, is a really good tip in a sentence.

  • I sometimes read out loud to practice pronunciation.

  • That's true repeat lines.

  • You here in TV shows, the next tip is to repeat lines you here, or the words you hear in TV shows or movies, things like that.

  • So, um, this means not only words don't Onley repeat single vocabulary words.

  • Yes, maybe you find a vocabulary word that is really interesting.

  • Um, or it sounds funny or something like that.

  • But by repeating Ah, full sentence or a full line in a TV show or in a movie you're putting the words together.

  • So not just one word, but making a whole sentence.

  • So feeling kind of the flow of your language that you're studying, Um, so this could be a better way to actually practice making sentences in repeating sentences instead of just words so you can repeat after characters and TV shows.

  • I sometimes do this when I'm like watching Japanese TV.

  • Ah, and then I try and spit it back out.

  • It's hard to do sometimes when it's like the first time you've heard a word of the first time you've heard a grammar point, but you can still understand that sentence.

  • It's interesting, so try to say it, and it's kind of fun.

  • Actually, I think in a sentence, try repeating lines from TV shows to practice practice, speaking in phrases, not single vocabulary words.

  • The next tip.

  • This is very similar to my TV show.

  • Tip is to practice.

  • Speaking in phrase is not in vocabulary words, not just single vocabulary words even if you're not repeating lines from TV shows when you practice speaking, don't just speak in noun.

  • So sometimes, for example, Ah, I'll hear people just use now like they'll use a noun and maybe a verb like I Tomorrow beach.

  • Something like that.

  • And yes, we can probably guess, based on that how, like the meaning, the speaker's meaning.

  • But ah, you need to practice making, ah whole sentence.

  • So yes, you know those words I tomorrow in beach and the listener can probably guess what you mean.

  • But you need to practice all those little words in the middle like, Ah, like I'm going to the beach tomorrow So make a full sentence Practice making full sentences.

  • Don't Onley practice Single vocabulary words make the whole line.

  • It's really good.

  • Sometimes I think my students get irritated like Bill, like I forced them to practice full sentences like so I'll say, like, uh, have you ever been to Germany?

  • And they'll say, Yes, I'm like, OK, for the purposes of practice, can you make a full sentence?

  • And they'll say, I have been to Germany like that's an extreme example, but like I try to push that you know, making the full sentence.

  • It's It's silly sometimes, but just trying to do that.

  • Okay, so in a sentence, speaking an entire phrases is helpful for practicing the rhythm of a new language.

  • Speak a lot with your teacher and ask them to be strict with you onwards.

  • OK, so the next tip is to speak a lot with your teacher and ask them to be strict with you.

  • So this is kind of two tips and 11 speak with your teacher s.

  • So if you have a teacher, uhm, make sure you're speaking in their class.

  • If you if, wherever possible, sometimes I'll have students join my class and maybe they feel shy or whatever.

  • Um and they don't speak very much.

  • But please speak with your teacher so that your teacher can correct you.

  • Your teacher can give you at least if they're in native speaker.

  • Or maybe even if they aren't a native speaker.

  • Your teacher can give you corrections.

  • And if you don't speak, your teacher cannot help you in most cases.

  • So please speak with your teacher.

  • And if you like, you can tell them please be strict about my pronunciation.

  • Uh, So sometimes people will say Please help me with my pronunciation specifically And then I can stop them every time they make a mistake and we practice that sound, especially th sounds like that.

  • Like using um, using your mouth a little bit differently can be really uncomfortable for some people.

  • But, ah, if you're a teacher, can point out those things like th sounds the this that these those those th sounds ending e r sounds.

  • Practicing those with your teacher can be a really good way to work on your pronunciation.

  • So in a sentence, speak a lot with your teacher.

  • Uh, it could be from a bad experience or good, but we say what a ride, what a ride, and when we're about to drink champagne, we say champagne time.

  • This expression, from after writing in a hot air balloon, originally came from the pilots of these balloons, wanting to make sure the farmers in the fields where they landed didn't get too upset.

  • So they would offer the farmers some champagne along with any guests they may have in their balloons.

  • And that's where the tradition first came from.
