linguistic issues outside of class.
Re-training your muscles and mind takes awareness, practiceand perseverance. If you put in the hours and the work, you will see positive results!
After learning the various rules of English, you must becomeaware of the errors that you make in your speech.
Keep an organized list of your corrections that have come from being monitored by other speakers, preferably native English speakers. If you don’t have a native English speaker to monitor you, simple listen and repeat with the Elemental English pronunciation andspeaking lessons, and take note of how your pronunciation differs from mine.
For example, does my [θ] as in “think” [θInk] sound like [t] or [s], as in “tink” or “sink”, when you say it?
Once you become aware of the errors you make, you are then ready to correct them. Obviously, if you are oblivious to your errors, you can’t fix them!
Any time you are corrected, write down the correction that you were given on a special “monitoring” list.
Constantly update this list, and keep it organized. This is extremely useful, because the errors that you produce are usually not random mistakes that come from “a slip of the tongue”. Most errors are part ofa pattern of mistakes that you repeat again and again.
