Learn the international phonetic alphabet<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">English spelling is not phonetic.\u00a0 Which is why \u201cwould\u201d and \u201cwood\u201d sound the same.\u00a0 The best way to master your pronunciation is to make sure that you understand what the phonetic pronunciation is.\u00a0 You can do that using the international phonetic alphabet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Complete a pronunciation course<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pronunciation is a lifelong process and the sooner you put yourself on the right track the better.\u00a0 You don\u2019t need to spend thousands on a 1-2-1 trainer, however, you can learn everything you need on a high quality <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/englishlikeanative.co.uk\/online-english-pronunciation-course\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pronunciation course<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> online and even get a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/englishlikeanative.co.uk\/accent-assessment\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pronunciation assessment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to ensure you make the fastest possible progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Use shadowing to perfect your intonation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shadowing is one of the most helpful and underrated techniques to perfect your pronunciation and ensure that your accent is as genuine as possible.\u00a0 You will have heard actors talking about how they spent time with the legends they are playing the role of.\u00a0 During this process, the actors often repeat back what is said.\u00a0 They will find old recordings and film of the person they are playing and try to mimic exactly what they do, what they say and the way they act.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should find your pronunciation idol, it may be a teacher, it may be a movie star.\u00a0 Just find someone you\u2019d love to sound like and copy everything they do when they speak.\u00a0 You\u2019ll soon sound exactly how you want to!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLn7iYKq-G3PJHbixYlgvjO7pNg4qMp6c7\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-176600328 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/English_Blog-Banner2-1024x288.jpg\" alt=\"Learn English with the LingQ podcast\" width=\"870\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/English_Blog-Banner2-1024x288.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/English_Blog-Banner2-300x84.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/English_Blog-Banner2-768x216.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/English_Blog-Banner2-600x169.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/English_Blog-Banner2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Use method acting<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the great things about learning another language is the ability it gives you to be somebody else.\u00a0 If you love everything about Italy and Italians, when you speak Italian, why not try to really live your Italian fantasy.\u00a0 It\u2019s not too much to say to be the romantic stereotype you have in your head.\u00a0 Believe me, there is not a fine line between charisma and over-acting. For most people, even when you think you\u2019re overdoing it, you\u2019re really only just getting interesting!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if you think that Boris Johnson represents everything you love about being British, then find your inner Boris.\u00a0 If you think Lady Gaga is the American dream, then find your inner Gaga and start to bring her to the surface.\u00a0 You\u2019ll love the opportunity to practice and the fun you\u2019ll have in the process will ensure that your language skills really take off.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Practice, Practice, PRACTICE!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As useful as all of these tips and tricks are, there is no replacement for genuine language practice.\u00a0 You must exercise the connectivity between your brain and your mouth and build your ability to speak as you think.\u00a0 The great thing is that if you follow tips one to four, you\u2019ll feel confident and enthusiastic about speaking and relish every opportunity to speak that you can get.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feel free to join my <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/englishlikeanative.co.uk\/english-speaking-practice-in-the-conversation-club\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conversation Club<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where you will find a safe space to exercise your Boris or Gaga with supportive students and teachers from all over the world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope to see you there!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re often asked: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/en\/learn-english-online\/\">is English hard to learn<\/a>?
