My pronunciation isn't good, when I tried to speak people have difficult understand me and when I read a text out loud, I usually pronounce the words wrong or don't know how to pronounce them, so I started to search for ways to improve it. I found an alphabet, but for pronunciation.

I look up for the phonemes that are used in English and in my native language, then I separated the phonemes I already use from those who I don't. Now, I'm going to learn how to pronounce them, trying to repeat what I'm hearing and seeing the right position of the mouth and tongue on videos.

Do you know about IPA? If yes, how do you study it? Do you know other ways to improve pronunciation? Leave a comment, I'd love hear about it.
