Hi, guys, I'm Nouhaila from Speaking English With Nouha  and in today’s lesson, I’m gonna show you how to sound better when you speak English and more like a native English speaker, right? Well, you’re in the right place!

3 Tips to sound better when you speak English

You might think that sounding like a native speaker in a foreign language is almost impossible. Sometimes that's the way it is, isn't it? You can study grammar and vocabulary, work very hard on prepositions, adjectives and verb tenses. And after all this hard work, it's really, really frustrating to drop your pronunciation, isn't it?

But the ultimate goal of learning another language is communication, right? Be able to communicate a message to someone else. And your pronunciation is the first impression that another person has when they hear your English.

Now, incredibly, good pronunciation can really raise the level of your English. It can bring him in. It is easier to ignore or ignore errors if you hear well, if the listener can understand the words you say and the message always gets through.

But you know what that means, don't you? Poor pronunciation can really lower the level of your English because even if you speak perfect English grammar, your level of English seems to be lower, because the listener cannot understand what you are saying.

What is the point of perfect grammar then, no? Improving your pronunciation will help people understand you and will greatly facilitate communication in English. To do so will require a little practice. A little bit of that.

But with a little dedication, useful tips and a space for practice, I am convinced that you will be able to do so. You will improve your pronunciation. I will give you useful advice, but you must bring your dedication. You are the one who must keep coming back, completing the challenges I posed as homework in each lesson, right? Keep coming back and keep practicing.
