PROPER PRONUNCIATION & ITS SIGNIFICANCE
The Benefits of Learning Pronunciation
Communicating
with the speakers
of that particular
language will be
easier, and the
possibility of a
misunderstanding
will be reduced.
Our fluency in the
language will also be
developed partly
because of our
improved ability to
orally deliver
utterances.
Our listeners will
have good
impressions about
us.
Consequences of “Incorrect” Pronunciation There are people who make fun of others because of incorrect pronunciatio n. Lapses in pronunciation can actually lead to changes in meaning. Avoid this scenario as much as possible, in order to avoid any misunderstanding.
To Guide our Path
- (^) When in doubt about the proper
pronunciation of certain words,
dictionaries are our most useful
resources.
- (^) One helpful tip in using
language appropriately is to
understand the situation you
are in and the people you are
communicating with.
