Your spoken-English vocabulary will improve most if you pause the video as you go, training with multiple repetitions. Your ears and voice will work in tandem to help you improve.

While it’s important for you to read and memorize vocabulary words as you’re learning English, that’s only half of your work. If you’re like the vast majority of English language learners, you want to improve your English skills so that you can have more conversations and feel more confident as you’re speaking.

There’s simply no better way for you to increase your vocabulary than to learn words in context. And that’s what we’ll do here.

Pronouncing these vocabulary words like a native speaker requires that you learn the reductions, intonation and rhythm used by Americans. I’ll walk you through everything in detail, using IPA to be precise about each sound. I’ll describe what your tongue, lips and mouth need to do in order to produce each sound with precision. While I know that it’s not easy to improve your spoken English vocabulary I hope this video will help you make a lot of progress. Good luck!
