Pronunciation Correction

Some English sounds are tricky for new speakers. Here are common ones to practise carefully.

SoundExample wordsHow to make it
/th/think, thisput your tongue between your teeth
/v/very, vanbite your lower lip lightly
/p/ vs /f/pan / fan/p/ uses two lips; /f/ uses lip + teeth
/sh/ship, sheround your lips and push air out

think — sink (don't say "sink" for "think")

very — berry (don't say "berry" for "very")

Say the tricky word slowly five times, then use it in a sentence. Slow and correct beats fast and wrong.

Common mistake: Replacing /th/ with /t/ or /d/ (saying "tink" for "think"). Practise putting your tongue between your teeth.

✍️ Practice:

  1. think / sink
  2. very / berry
  3. pan / fan
  4. ship / sip
