The “Listen and Repeat” Method

The following method is fairly easy. It involves listening to a native speaker present a recorded presentation. With the internet and youtube, this is really much easier than it ever has been.

You’ll want to listen to about fifteen seconds or so of the presentation at a time before stopping the recording. Now, repeat everything the speaker said, again paying special attention as in the previous technique to the rhythm of his words as well as his pronunciation.

Don’t be too concerned about what the topic is. In fact, you’re encouraged to choose the one you have a personal or professional interest in. When you do this, you’re much more likely to sit and listen – and absorb – for a greater period of time.

The purpose, as you probably already guessed, is to become more familiar with the various sounds of the English language and in the process mimic them.

The two techniques presented so far are based on actually speaking the language and aren’t that concerned with the so-called rules of pronunciation.

Sometimes, when you focus excessively on the rules, you trip up, slow yourself down – or even talk yourself out of your goal.

There are certain instructors who prefer their student to practice this technique instead of watching television with an ear to accent reduction. The reason?

Those individuals who give form presentations usually speak more clearly. You may want to give this a try and see for yourself.
