69. Fluency and Pronunciation
Fluency is not about
speaking quickly, it's
speaking clearly. Slow
down.
Read out loud in English,
children's books are
great!
Lose the katakana!
Listen to spoken
English and copy it
If a word ends in a
consonant, don't make a
vowel sound.
Practice difficult
sounds.
Don't worry. No one's
pronunciation is perfect!
