English pronunciation - how to learn to speak English correctly?

To date, learning English has become very popular, not only among schoolchildren and young people, but also among the older generation. Due to the fact that international tourism among ordinary Russian citizens began to gain momentum, the need for communication with foreigners has increased dramatically. And in English now almost the whole world speaks: Europe, America, Asia. At the same time, good English pronunciation is very important, because an incorrect intonation or warped word can not only change the meaning of the spoken phrase, but also lead to a mishap.

Pronunciation of English is the aspect that, unfortunately, is not given due attention to school lessons. But it is he who can help the children to speak the language, and not only to know and memorize the rules of conjugation of the verb to be in sixteen times. Good English pronunciation should accompany all activities. This, of course, can provide a native speaker. But not all schools and universities have the opportunity to hire a teacher of this level, who has the qualifications, the right to teach in Russian educational institutions. Although it is he who will instill in pupils (both children and adults) the habit of speaking correctly, observing intonation. English pronunciation requires a lot of work on yourself, as it radically differs from the Russian language.

To do this, you need to go to a country where English is a state language. This is the most effective way to achieve the most close to the original result. Thanks to this immersion speech will be correct, all intonations will be respected, and language awareness will come much faster. But if there is no possibility to go abroad, such conditions can be created at home. Developed 21 century gives a huge number of opportunities for learning foreign languages. From the Internet you can download specialized audiobooks, regular listening to which will achieve the desired result. Also you can watch movies without translation (for those who already have a good command of English). It is important to pay attention to the country-producer of cinema. English pronunciation is radically different from the American one. This applies not only to intonation shades, but also to the words themselves. The same word in English and American can have quite the opposite meaning because of the differences in pronunciation.

But you can achieve results only by constantly using speech. If you do not use the language in life or work, then it is quickly forgotten. Today in Russia there are many foreign students, including those from English-speaking countries. With their help, you can easily train your pronunciation. You can also organize online communication - for example, via Skype. In social networks, there are many groups where you can freely study and train the language.
