Pronunciation+Links

=** Pronunciation Links ** = = =

Below is a collection of some of my favourite pronunciation websites. When using these sites, remember that you **must** speak at a regular speaking volume (no whispering!). You may look a little odd speaking to yourself in front of a computer, but practicing out loud is the only way to improve your pronunciation.

 * This is one of the best websites for working on individual sounds. The website is for American pronunciation, but many of the sounds will be similar in Canada. The website uses videos to help teach you about specific sounds.

 * This is another one of my favourite websites. This site is similar to Pronunciation Power, and you can access it at home!

 * This is another great websites for individual sounds. If you know the sounds that you confuse (such as /r/ and /l/) then you can click on your problem sounds on the left side of the page and follow instructions.

 * Youtube is a wonderful way to learn pronunciation! Here are a group of videos about English pronunciation from Jennifer, an experienced teacher. Watch her videos and follow along with her. Remember to practice **out loud**! If you do not practice the sounds, you will not see improvement in your pronunciation.

 * Pronuncian is another good website that will help you work on your vowel sounds and let you practice minimal pairs. You do not need to become a member to watch the videos and practice your sounds.
