How to improve your pronunciation?

- Start reading small magazines, newspapers, books, etc.
Initially, start reading at a small amount and then start ending up with novels and biographies.
Read what you record.

- Start recording whatever you read; the advantage of recording is that you can get an idea of how you pronounce the words.

- Read every word carefully and slowly so it would be comfortable t0 pronounce better.

- Consume (read) as much content as you can. I never stop learning.

- Professional trainers always recommend reading at least 5-10 pages regularly. So read 5-10 pages daily and slowly, and don’t forget to record it.

- Make a diary for yourself. Start jotting down the word that you lack to pronounce better in.

- Make a list of the wrongly pronounced words in your diary and read them once in a month.

- Join an English speaking group/ English speaking community.
(So many WhatsApp groups are available if you search on the Internet.)
Speak with someone in English at least for 30 minutes. It will help you gain confidence.

Improving pronunciation is possible; a few ways to improve pronunciation is as follows:
a) Speak or read aloud a passage to your self, and while you are doing this, please ensure that you are ACTIVELY listening to what you are saying. (Now - if you are alone and are doing this, you will need to use either an online software or an app that pronounces the words you have been saying and check if both the pronunciations are the same. If same -well and good. If not, try to repeat the word that you are listening to.
b) IF you are reading aloud in front of someone -with the motive of the listener helping you ( Ensure the person looking is better in communication and pronunciation or else it will be "Blind leading the blind" no results will come forth). Pick out words one by one which is being incorrectly pronounced, get the correct pronunciation and repeat them time and again till you, mark it correctly.
c) Break the word up for, eg "Together" can be pronounced as To-Get-her (no spacing) "Development" De-well-up-ment.
d) Listen, Repeat, Listen, Repeat (Listen to the word, Repeat the Word ) this simple exercise will also help.
