Intonation - Correcting improper intonation

Listen to this lesson

Learning a new language is very difficult. There are many things to consider such as pronunciation, intonation, speed of talking, and overall fluency. On top of that, in order to pass exams, you need to have the relevant content. I hope the next few lessons I provide will help you speak proper English fluently. LetÆs get started with Intonation.

Intonation

Many people from different countries have improper intonation because their teacher had improper intonation. In many situations, being monotone is better than having bad intonation. The worst is when someone goes up and down too much on every word. Another thing you should avoid is to end high at the end of a sentence.

To correct improper intonation, you need to remember to start high and end low. You cannot do it any other way. I recommend going to the interview section and listening to one of the audio files provided by a native speaker. You will hear proper intonation. After listening to the audio, record yourself and listen to it. Does it sound the same? If not, then find the areas that are dissimilar and make the necessary corrections.

Intonation is not that difficult to correct and I have had many students who fixed their intonation after 2 small sessions. The advice I gave them was the same as the one above. This will work, and if you want to speak with proper intonation, please follow this advice.

There are many teachers who can help you if you need private lessons. Feel free to contact any teacher to get a little help.
