The Trick behind Pronunciation

Speaking in English is not the only thing that matters. Pronunciation of the words contributes massively to your speech.

There are some words in English that may sound improper when you speak them but however, it is the way how they must be pronounced. Just as a simple instance, many pronounce ‘pronunciation’ as ‘pro-noun-sia-shan’ when it’s actually ‘pro-nun-sia-shan’.

You might get your tongue completely twisted while pronouncing some words. The best way you can deal with it is to disintegrate the word into parts. Break a big word into small parts and then try to pronounce.

For example, there’s a word ‘brobdingnagian’ which means something huge or gigantic. Try to pronounce it. Got your tongue twisted? Too obvious, isn’t it? So here’s a trick:

First, consider the part ‘brob’ and pronounce it.

Let it be followed by the part ‘ding’. So now it becomes ‘brob-ding.’

Give it another step and go for the ‘na’. You’ve reached almost the top and it becomes ‘brob-ding-na’.

The final step, just add the ‘gian.’

So now, it’s ‘brob-ding-na-gian’.

You’ve hit the dart. That’s it. Try this for every word that gets you bewildered. Cool trick, isn’t it!

Practise with small words, then medium and finally leap over the brobdingnagian words.

Till then, keep practising, explore new words, good luck!
