Tricky Consonants In Today's Practise English Pronunciation ✔ Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/practise-english-pronunciation-4/

It’s been a while since we did a podcast on English pronunciation, so today we look at difficult to pronounce  English consonants. Depending on what language you are coming to English  from, you may or may not find today’s lesson a challenge.

One of the biggest advantages to listening to lots of English language being spoken by native English speakers is learning the correct pronunciation for English words. Today we break down why some English words are more  difficult than others to pronounce. Along the way, we explain what  consonants and vowels are.

Although we spend a lot of our time talking about listening to English in our podcasts and building your English language  comprehension, at some point you are going to need to say these words  out loud. Today is one of those days where you might benefit from  finding a quiet place to practice saying some of these words out loud.

If you don't know how to pronounce a word, say it loudly. Do not compound mispronunciation with inaudibility.

⭐ Mark Twain

If you have the time,  listen to my version of the pronunciation and then record yourself  (using your mobile is easiest) and listen to yourself. If you have  spoken little English, then you're going to notice that your voice does  not do what you want it too initially. You literally have to practice  using new muscle positions to achieve the correct sounds.

The good news is you English listening practice with us will help you hear the differences between my pronunciation and your version. Now it’s just a matter of practice makes perfect.
