 The importance of Pronunciation? I have been thinking about this question a lot lately - why do we need to learn/teach pronunciation? I'd like some opinions, other than my own!  Cheers. |

| Re: The importance of Pronunciation? Without some degree of acuracy, learners could end up producing unrecognisable or incomprehensible language. I don't think we need to try to turn people into sounding like native speakers, but we do need to get them to be capable of being understood by a variety of listeners, which involves a degree of approximation to the core sounds. |

| Re: The importance of Pronunciation? But there is no agreed upon standard for pronunciation and it varies with the location where you speak . |
