In English, there are many accents…British, American, Australian, and more. So, when we learn pronunciation, how much does accent really matter? Do we need to focus on sounding like a specific accent? Or is it more important to just be clear and understood? Sometimes it feels confusing…Which one should we follow? What do you think? 👇 Do you try to learn a specific accent, or just focus on clear pronunciation?

Quick question for everyone here… I’m guessing most of us (maybe everyone except @Sal Di Giallonardo 😄) are not native English speakers. So I’m curious.... What’s your mother tongue? Drop it in the comments 👇 Let’s see how global this community really is 🌎✨

To all our new members here in the Pronunciation Lab, WELCOME! Drop an intro, seomthing you have recently learned here, or a fun fact about you below 💛 We'd love to hear more from you! @Emanuela Pratticó participated to both lessons this week...well done! @Enas Elsabagh @Zahra Taher @Sergio Paris @Bouchra Khalid @Nurcan Akkuş @Biaani C @Cinzia Latorre @Suroora Salwa.p @Shamna Shahina @Izzeddin Masri @Emanuela Pratticó @Izzeddin Masri @Ibar Farid

Tomorrow we have our free Q&A lesson in the community 🙂 This is your chance to ask me anything about: - pronunciation - phonetics / IPA - difficult sounds - connected speech - words you never feel sure about - confidence when speaking English - To make the lesson even more useful, try to prepare one or two questions before we meet. And if you want, you can already write your question here in the comments 👇 That way: - I can prepare better examples - other members may have the same doubt - and we can make the session more useful for everyone No question is too small or too basic. Sometimes the best lessons start with one simple doubt. See you tomorrow!
