每个人都知道使用英语是唯一改善你的英文发音的方式。但是如果你无法每天和以英语为母语的外国人练习怎么办？不用担心！有很多方法都可以延伸你的声带。


1.Listen to yourself.如果你不能听出你自己的发音问题，那很难去改正它。试着把你的演说用录音带录下来，并与以英语为母语的外国人士做个比较。

2. Slow down! 很多英文学习者说话的时候，都说的很快然而增加他们的坏习惯。每一天练习一点点。先从单升调开始，然后转换成单字，最后，将这些单字合起来。

3. Picture it... 闭上你的眼睛，在说之前想想如何发这个音。想象你的嘴巴和脸的定位。

4. Get physical!发音是一个肢体技巧。你正教你的嘴巴一个新的方法去移动和使用不同的肌肉。每一天专注在困难的音调。有没有困难发'th'？把你的舌头放在你的牙齿之间(不要咬紧)然后，从嘴巴里吐气出来。感觉空气在你的舌头上面移动。

5. Watch yourself. 站在镜子前面看看你舌头，嘴唇和嘴型的位置当你发音的时候。和你所看的Englishtown发音录像带做比较！

6.Copy the experts. 没有任何可取带让以英语为母语的人士来教你发音。所以注意听！听听英语广播节目，看英语电视和电影。(不要看字幕！)模仿你听到的声音-即使你不确定他们说什么。

7. Practice alone.发音问题会一直持续因为我们会害怕出错。编一个剧本-第一次和别人见面，餐厅点餐，询问方向-然后自己演出一段对话。不要害羞！

8. Find a language buddy. 从旁人那得到回馈是很重要的。找一个朋友他也对改善英文很有兴趣。试着去交换过去的留言你可以更接近的听出每一个人的发音。


9. Be poetic. 好的发音更胜于专精于每一个音。这很容易了解intonation(声音的升降)和stress (一些音在字当中和一些自在句子当中比其它更大声或是更清楚)。大声地念诗，演讲和唱歌，专注在字的重音和音调。


10. Sing a song! 听单字从热门英文歌曲中并
跟着唱。唱歌可以放松心情和使用这些单字，也可以帮助你的节奏和语调。

Everyone knows that using English is the only way to really improve your pronunciation. But what if you can't practice with a native speaker every day? Don't worry! There are plenty of ways to stretch your vocal chords.



1. Listen to yourself. If you can't hear your pronunciation problems, it's tough to correct them. Try recording your speech on a tape and comparing it with a native speaker's.



2. Slow down! Many English learners say that speaking too quickly reinforces their bad habits. Practice a few basics each day. Start with single sounds, then move on to words, and finally, string several words together.

3. Picture it... Close your eyes and think about how to make a sound before saying it. Visualize the positioning of your mouth and face.

4. Get physical! Pronunciation is a physical skill. You're teaching your mouth a new way to move and using different muscles. Focus on difficult sounds each day. Having trouble with 'th'? Put your tongue between your teeth (don't bite down) and blow air out of your mouth. Feel the air move over the top of your tongue.

5. Watch yourself. Stand in front of a mirror to see the placement of your tongue, lips, and shape of your mouth when you make certain sounds. Compare what you see with an Englishtown pronunciation video!

6. Copy the experts. There's no replacement for learning pronunciation from the experts ?native speakers. So listen! Listen to English radio programs and watch television and movies in English. (Don't read the subtitles!) Imitate what you're hearing ?even if you're not sure what they're saying yet.

7. Practice alone. Pronunciation problems persist because we're afraid to make mistakes. Create scenarios - meeting someone for the first time, ordering at a restaurant, asking for directions ?then act out the dialogue by yourself. Don't be shy!

8. Find a language buddy. Getting feedback from an outside observer is crucial. Find a friend who's also interested in improving their English. Try exchanging recorded messages so you can listen closely to each other's pronunciation.

9. Be poetic. Good pronunciation is more than just mastering individual sounds. It's also understanding intonation (the rise and fall of the voice) and stress (some sounds in words and some words in sentences are louder or clearer than others). Read poems, speeches and songs aloud, concentrating on the word stress and intonation.

10. Sing a song! Learn the words to popular English songs and sing along. Singing helps you relax and just get those words out, as well as helping your rhythm and intonation.
