Teach Yourself English ESL English via Pronunciation Back and ForthMovement back and forth governs many activities. Employ it now to master English with your native pronunciation. Learn patiently - alternatng deliberately between your lifelong knowledge and the speech you seek. Recent growth of ESL (English as a Second Language) suggests this self-help. To add English, enunciate aloud the all-capital syllables of some short texts according to plan and you’re on your way.

KEEP away. GIVE me the KEY.” She opened the GATE for their GAME of ‘Fly the KITE’, after which she CALLED a CAB to GO. The END . Thank you. Language starts with speaking and hearing. Remember childhood? There was radio, movies, television, music, books, and daily conversation. Mastery came from listening and imitating. School added grammar and literature. Vocabulary expanded. Now you are either (a) a foreign-born student (b) a recent immigrant hampered by accent, or (c) anyone just valuing good pronunciation. Each situation – abc – suggests learning or relearning. English? It is the most taught everywhere as second-language and serves international commerce. Pronunciation? Speaking and listening provide sure mastery. Fast? All language learning is gradual. The program here is to master English long term. Learning is focused on three pronunciation essentials: enunciate, pace, understand Obtain the aid of a native-English speaker (persuade?) who will coach you through eight pronunciation objects. Each object is a sentence, phrase, or other wording. Your challenges are to pronounce the three essentials in order at each object. You advance by your responses to the three challenges - one per essential at each of eight objects (24 responses). Your adviser will demonstrate in sequence at each object, speaking the first two essentials (enunciate and pace) aloud. Pronounce and repronounce those first two essentials several times. Imitate the coach for each response. At enunciate, pronounce every capitalized syllable as spoken by the coach, firmly, individually and completely. Don’t slur. Skip no syllable or part, Gloss-over only the non-capitalized sounds - the,is,a,etc. At pace, the adviser blends and stresses your precise enunciating. Imitate this natural pacing. It suits your purposes even if sometimes faulty or a bit regional. Pronunciation, with sentence structure and grammar, has evolved territorially over centuries. Your immediate goal is to learn the “generally accepted way” people talk in your second-language locale. For understand, think exclusively of the object’s meaning. Compare native translation to the English syllables. Ponder “back and forth” several times to leave no doubt. Concentrate on the capitalized syllables. Imagine that the second language is the only one you possess. For ESL, calmly and confidently “think in English” while retainng the essentials enunciate and pace that you learned. CRUCIAL: Whenever you speak the third essential while totally relaxed, sounding to the coach unquestionably “like a countryman,” you are ready for the next object. Schedule objects in sessions. The opening may cover two or three objects followed by about 15 minutes each in further sessions. Plan for about two per week. Start each session with a review. By completing the eight-object program, you will have mastered the second language. You spoke selected key sounds as a native. You overcame hurdles on an obstacle course of significant difficulties..Confidence at the enunciated-and-paced third responses indicated your capability to handle similar wordings, or objects. So, you are a master - via pronunciation. Employ the three essentials daily following listening, conversation and reading. Your vocabulary of well-spoken pronunciations will grow rapidly. You may rely on your mastery in pronunciation to provide at least a strong view on the context of any new word. Meanwhile, cultivate a fondness for dictionaries. Utilize their help often.. A memonic is offered here.To recall the essentials epu, remember that you attended Eastern Pacific University EPU. FOLLOWING are your programmed challenges of the eight objects. Respond at each with the three essentials.The first object is the English word "seldom." (insert the one-word translation).
