Struggle with pronunciation? Do this

Easy and fun way to improve your pronunciation

Are you struggling with pronunciation? It’s very important to correct this early on, because pronunciation counts for 25% of your final speaking score in IELTS!

Is this what you have to live with every day?

  • People keep asking you to repeat yourself
  • You hate what you sound like in English
  • You know you mispronounced a word, but you’re not sure how to pronounce it correctly
  • You’re afraid to use a word because you don’t know how to pronounce it

These are all signs that your pronunciation needs some work.

One of my go-to ways to improve is by listening to Luke’s ENGLISH Podcast!

Luke’s ENGLISH Podcast has been created in 2009 and 850+ episodes have been recorded since (and counting!). Luke is a DELTA-qualified teacher with 20+ years of experience, so you know you’re learning from the best. He is easy to find – do a search online for Luke’s English and all the various places where you can listen to his podcast online will come up.

One of the things I love about his podcast is his clear British accent. It makes it super easy to follow along, and his humorous and light style keeps things fun!

How to improve your pronunciation

Here’s how you can level up your pronunciation with Luke’s ENGLISH Podcast

1. Listen daily: Even just 10-15 minutes a day can do wonders. Luke’s pronunciation is very clear, so try to soak it in.
2. Mimic Luke’s speech: While listening to an episode, pick a word or a phrase and repeat it out loud. Try to match how he says each word.
3. Use transcripts: Follow along with the transcripts to connect the sounds with the words on the page.
4. Check out his episodes on vocab: For some extra practice listen to episodes that focus on vocab. He reads stories out loud and explains the vocabulary in them, so you kill two birds with one stone – pronunciation and vocab!

Give it a shot, and you won’t believe the improvement in your pronunciation. Leave a comment below if you’ve listened to Luke’s podcast, and what you thought of it!
