4:30pronunciation in front of the mirror now

4:32I mentioned practicing speaking in front

4:35of the mirror but you should also focus

4:37on pronunciation English has quite a few

4:40sounds that might be very different from

4:42your native language for example the th

4:46sound the V sound or the W sound or even

4:50the difference between short and long

4:53vowel sounds for example ship and sheep

4:58ship and sheep they sound very similar

5:00but they're completely different with

5:02the word ship your mouth is closed and

5:06with the word sheep your mouth is

5:09stretched look in the mirror try saying

5:12these words and watch your mouth to see

5:14how it moves ship and sheep this is a

5:18great way to check and to improve your

5:21pronunciation you can also imitate

5:23native speakers watch videos movies or

5:27even my lessons here on YouTube and

5:30repeat what native speaker says look at

5:33how they're moving their mouth look at

5:34how they're stressing words look at how

5:36they're linking sounds together now

5:41saying you need to write a novel but

5:44keeping a small Daily Journal in English

5:46can make a big difference every day try

5:50writing down what you did how you're

5:52feeling or what you're thinking all in

5:55English even if it's just one or two

5:57paragraphs this is going to go a long

5:59long way to helping you get used to

6:02expressing your thoughts on paper to

6:05structuring sentences and to using

6:08vocabulary in conversation practice

6:10writing things down even if it's just 5

6:13to 10 minutes every day you can write

6:15about your day what you ate for lunch or
