Many language learners think their pronunciation is good enough because their teacher doesn’t correct them too often or because other students can
36 them.
Pronunciation is the area which is
37 the least attention to in language learning. Most teachers
38 just let their students speak. The teachers stop them
39 the students say something completely wrong. Working on each student’s pronunciation in class is just
40. Also, the students who are
41 at pronunciation may be afraid that it will embarrass their classmates if they help
42 their mistakes.
Although you believe your pronunciation is good enough to
43, you may be
44 when you actually go to a foreign country. One of my friends was the best student in his
45 class in Poland. However, when he went to America, he found Americans didn’t understand
46 of what he said.
Your pronunciation may still be quite
47 that of a native speaker. If this is the
48, other people will find it
49 to understand what you’re saying and will not be comfortable with you.
50, don’t think you can communicate in a foreign language
51 you’ve tested your skills on real native speakers.
52 for native or nearnative pronunciation so that people you talk to can communicate with you
53. In order to achieve this goal, there’s no
54 that you will need to start thinking about pronunciation and
55 time on it.
