Default 10 tips to improve the way you speak English.

Offers these tips to help 'neutralize' your accent or rather do away with the local twang, as you speak.

i. Observe the mouth movements of those who speak English well and try to imitate them.When you are watching television, observe the mouth movements of the speakers.Repeat what they are saying, while imitating the intonation and rhythm of their speech.

ii. Until you learn the correct intonation and rhythm of English, slow your speech down.If you speak too quickly, and with the wrong intonation and rhythm, native
speakers will have a hard time understanding you.Don't worry about your listener getting impatient with your slow speech -- it is more important that everything you say be
understood.

iii. Listen to the 'music' of English.Do not use the 'music' of your native language when you speak English. Each language has its own way of 'singing'.

iv. Use the dictionary.Try and familiarize yourself with the phonetic symbols of your dictionary. Look up the correct pronunciation of words that are hard for you to say.

v. Make a list of frequently used words that you find difficult to pronounce and ask someone who speaks the language well to pronounce them for you.Record these words, listen to them and practice saying them. Listen and read at the same time.

vi. Buy books on tape.Record yourself reading some sections of the book. Compare the sound of your English with that of the person reading the book on the tape.

vii. Pronounce the ending of each word.Pay special attention to 'S' and 'ED' endings. This will help you strengthen the mouth muscles that you use when you speak English.

viii. Read aloud in English for 15-20 minutes every day.Research has shown it takes about three months of daily practice to develop strong mouth muscles for speaking a new
language.

ix. Record your own voice and listen for pronunciation mistakes.Many people hate to hear the sound of their voice and avoid listening to themselves speak. However, this is a very important exercise because doing it will help you become conscious of the mistakes you are making.

x. Be patient.You can change the way you speak but it won't happen overnight. People often expect instant results and give up too soon. You can change the way you sound if you are willing to put some effort into it.

I am also aware of it but as i explained earlier if a member commits same mistake in every post then it is better to correct him as soon as possible and there is no better way then a post from mod/supermod as edit notes usually go unheeded.
