263 - How to pronounce long, complicated...

SHAYNA OLIVEIRA
About this episode

Today I'm going to teach you an exercise for practicing the pronunciation of long, difficult multi-syllable words.

Our example words for this exercise will be particularly and individualistic.

But you can use this exercise with ANY English word!

I hope you'll remember the tips in this lesson next time you see a long, complicated English word!

When it comes to pronunciation, practice makes perfect. The only way to get better at English pronunciation is by doing it, by saying the words, and by training your mouth to make the right sounds.

I have two courses that can help you train and improve your pronunciation – the American English Pronunciation Course and Shadowing with Shayna.

These courses have lots of exercises that will give you the practice you need to speak more clearly, confidently and correctly.
