Every word in the English language is made up of syllables. A syllable is a pronunciation unit with a vowel that may also have consonants. If you need a refresher, a vowel is A, E, I, O, or U. A consonant is any sound you make that is not a vowel sound.
Besides how you pronounce words, the way you stress or emphasize them matters when speaking natural English.
Another part of improving your English pronunciation is selecting one accent and using it going forward. There are different accents around the world. You likely have an accent from your home country, but now you’re trying to switch to an English accent when you speak.
If you don’t know how to cook something, you look up a recipe. If you’re not sure how to beat a level in a video game, you watch a walkthrough.

More than likely, your original language and English are pretty different. You may find that after having an especially intensive English practice session, your jaw and mouth are sore.

You probably already use a dictionary to translate English words, but online or digital dictionaries can offer many additional benefits, including pronunciation guides.
