Read aloud is the best method to check your pronunciation

2021年9月21日

G'day mate, how're ya? Today, I'm gonna be talking about why read aloud is the best method to check your pronunciation. To put it simply, you can't notice whether you're mispronouncing or not by subvocalising English sentences, precisely because you will surely feel that your pronunciation seems fine. To elaborate further, let's dig into it.

First and foremost, reading English sentences without read aloud is not effective when it comes to improving your pronunciation. When you are singing a song, for instance, there will be a possibility of recognising whether you are good at singing or not, partly because you'll be able to notice something, right? But if you are singing a song with your nasal voice, then it's gonna be tricky in order to assess your real singing performance. By the same token, as for English pronunciation, if you are always trying to subvocalise, then it's gonna be so difficult to improve it. Even if you are not confident about pronouncing, give it a shot! You won't lose anything, but the only thing you will lose is a precious opportunity whether you could notice and assess your performance of English pronunciation. Don't worry about it, practice makes perfect unless you cary out a proper practice along with an appropriate knowledge and method.

Second, it's good to increase your mouth muscle whereby you read aloud English sentences as one of your routine tasks. The more you read aloud English sentences, the more muscles you'll be able to build up, boost and reinforce. And the more you assess your voice and pronunciation by read aloud, the less possibility of mispronunciation you will persist unless you continue to practise it properly. To this end, not only should you practise read aloud by yourself, but you should consult some experts as to whether you are pronouncing correctly or not. This is also quite significant when it comes to the speed and progression of your English phonetic performance. If you have enough money at your disposal, then why not kickstarting some lessons such as ZOOM Group Lesson, which comprises pretty much every essential component of how the English basics should be mastered.
