How are you doing? Are you doing well? I'm alright, but I've also been of course trying to polish my English as much as I could like you guys. If you have just started learning English or wish to improve your overall skills, then why don't you master or rectify your pronunciation first, which is a must-do learning process.
Without the solid precision of pronunciation, learning other three skills including reading, listening and writing would be very difficult as pronunciation is the lnchipin of the English language. Mastering pronunciation wouldn't be that much harder than you might have thought. But obviously if you don't learn it properly, then it's gonna take so much longer than you anticipate. So, yes of course pronunciation is crucial but you may consult its expert so as how to fix it quickly and cost-effectively.
Like me, I'm certainly not in a position to claim that I'm pronouncing crystal clear sounds of every vowel and consonant. No of course not, but nonetheless I used to be in the same boat like you guys, so I'm pretty much confident that I'm quite familiar with typical mistakes caused by Japanese ESL students. Let me pick up all your weak points or sounds as you speak during my online English course. I'm sure that you'll be stunned to recognise the root-cause of why you are always making that mistakes during speaking. It's really hard to perceive any mistake by yourself, doesn't it?
It's important to make mistakes, and learn from them in a practical way, which is by far more critical than you try to hesitate to speak because you don't wanna make any silly mistake. This is utterly wrong. You won't boost your skills unless you attempt to take you out of your comfort zone, which is the most important criteria to be met with your purpose of learning English.
Are you with me so far? I've been trying to explain to you guys along with my candid opinion. The simpler you think about learning English, the better you get. Good luck with your learning jouney. If you have any question regarding English learning, PTE exam, study abroad, or migration, then please contact me anytime, so that I can arrange an online meeting via Google Meet accordingly.
That's all for today. Thanks for reading.
