Imitate. Listening when combined with reading will fill your brain with phrases you recognize and will eventually be able to use. You may want to imitate out loud the odd word or phrase even as you are listening. This is sometimes referred to as shadowing. But you need even more practice at getting the words out. actually listen a few minutes to content for which you have the transcript and where you like the voice and the way the person speaks.

After listening, read the same text out loud trying to imitate the way the person speaks. Focus on the rhythm and intonation Don't worry about words that you mispronounce, get their rhythm and flow. Do this over and over. It's a beautiful day today. It's a beautiful day today. imitation.

Imitation is the key to learning languages. Did you know that if you mimic someone's accent, you'll be able to better understand what they say. As a playwright gorge, Bernal Shah once said, imitation is not just the sincerest form of flattery. It's a sincerest form of learning. That's what psychologists at the UK University of Manchester and HoloLens University discovered in the study in 2010. The results showed that imitating the person you're talking to helps your speech comprehension.

So for language learners, this means it's best to practice your conversation skills with a native speakers. imitation speeds up learning. In the 1970s, American psychologist Andrew and meltzoff identified so called social learning where people or animals observe and then copy their companions. imitation accelerates learning and multiplies learning opportunities. He noted. It is faster than individual discovery and safer than learning by trial and error.

The next one is a record yourself. Use of words is more important than pronunciation. However, we all like to work on getting close. To the pronunciation of the native speaker, although we won't quite get there. In order to work on pronunciation, you can practice recording yourself every now and again, perhaps once or twice a month, but not too often. Find content of interest, listen to the radio, and then read the same content out loud or record yourself.

Listen for the differences. This is your chance to work on specific sounds. It is important to notice the words that you mispronounce and then try to notice the sounds when listening to the language. If you can notice them, you will have a better chance of pronouncing them correctly.
