LEARNING ENGLISH

This is why even the top, or smartest adult students have difficulty with pronunciation. There are several things that an international student can do to improve his or her pronunciation.
One method is to sign up for a pronunciation class. Studying pronunciation can help students to understand the rules of English, but in order to practice speaking, students often need to be exposed to English outside the classroom as well. This is why many students say that studying in an English-speaking country greatly affects their English. Living with native speakers can help students to learn newvocabulary as well as improve their accents. International students can alsolearn important cultural information. This can help to prevent misunderstandings that can occur when people from different cultures live together.
