Please recomend me good way of practicing pronounciation

[luckyleon]

I was born in Korea and have lived in Korea.

As you know there are not many people speaking

English in Asian countries. So, I never use English when I'm with

Korean people.

I have lots of interst in pronounciation, but the only time that I can

practice is when I am with English speaking people which is very rare.

So if you have any idea about practicing pronounciation without

English speaking people, please recomend me..

Things that I need to practice are vowels like 'pen' and 'pan'.

And the most hard thing is intonation..Please give me any advice~!

If you want to get a good pronunciation then I recommend you watch the news on BBC and if You don't have cable tv, you can go to YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. and put the word "bbc news" in the seeker and it's going to appear a lot of news. Just watch them and notice the pronunciation the have. It's a beautiful accent.

If you just want to practice a couple of words just visit English to French, Italian & Spanish Dictionary - WordReference.com, You put the word in english and a phonetic record appear.

Hi Bianca, According to me not everyone of us can afford to spend money for being online all the time when we need help on pronunciation, so i suggested a money saver solution to Mr/Miss.Luckyleon and not only it helps in saving money but also it gives fast results.........so i suggested the same for him/her.

Bianca, in case if i have hurt you or offended you, please make certain that i did not mean it.......ok
