🔥 Learn languages like I do with LingQ:

Pronouncing well doesn’t mean pronouncing perfectly, it may require deliberate effort. That was my experience when learning Mandarin and French. In subsequent languages the pronunciation just came to me.

0:00 – English speakers can be sloppy when pronouncing in other languages.
2:59 – The importance of giving vowels their full value when pronouncing words in a foreign language.
5:16 – I worked hard on pronunciation in the first languages I learned.
7:50 – You need to build a base of sounds when learning a new language.
10:10 – To improve your pronunciation hear the sound, produce the sound and don’t resist the differences in the new language, embrace them!
