After many years of studying English, I finally learnt how to pronounce English in a correct way and the importance of pronouncing a word correctly. Now, I feel that I am more interested about learning the IPA, the name of sounds and how to pronounce them. I believed that the time for me to figure out English pronunciation has come. As you know, it is not the first time I have been taught the IPA. Unfortunately, I have never learned the correct way to pronounce a word. I always tend to memorize the sound of each word instead of learning the IPA or the rules of pronunciation. But now, I am trying to learn and practice the sound every time I can. Therefore, I realized that in order to have good pronunciation we have to learn: mouth movement, rhythm of English and listen a lot. I believed that the aspects mentioned before are possible to achieve if I am committed to study and to practice a lot.
