    Pronunciation is important in learning English as it affects how well a speaker can communicate and be understood. Problems with pronunciation often begin in school where it is not taught well. As a result, learners pick up incorrect pronunciation that is difficult to unlearn later. Correct pronunciation allows for easy understanding while incorrect pronunciation can lead to misunderstandings. Some challenges in learning pronunciation include differentiating between similar sounds that don't exist in one's native language and mastering English stress and intonation patterns. However, with techniques like recording oneself, using a mirror, and practicing aloud, pronunciation can be improved. For interpreters especially, clear pronunciation is essential for effective communication.

    Why it is important to learn pronunciation?

    Pronunciation is one of the problems of learning English. It is the main aspect of


    English that people notice when you are speaking. Problems with pronunciation
    begins at school, because teaching pronunciation gets little attention. That is why,
    learners continuously to imitate the words spoken by the teacher with the wrong
    pronunciation, articulation and word stress. As the result, these learners have
    difficulties in learning pronunciation at university, as interpreters. But it is hard to
    relearn what you have been learning many years. So, I want to tell you about the
    importance of pronunciation, and reasons why pronunciation is difficult to learn and
    some tips of learning pronunciation.

    Firstly, pronunciation is an essential thing in communication, because correct


    pronunciation makes it easy to understand what speaker has said, and incorrect
    pronunciation will lead to misunderstanding between non-native English speaker
    and listener. That is why, we should learn correct articulation of the sounds,
    pronounce it correctly and hear the differences between the similar sounds. Also, we
    should remember about phonetic phenomena and intonation.

    Secondly, it may be difficult to learn these parts of phonetic system. In English, most
    of words have similar sounds, but have different meanings. For non-native speakers
    it will be hard to understand the differences between similar sounds in their native
    language and English, it is called phonetic mistake, when one phoneme is replaced
    with another. The English are famous for saying one thing and meaning another –
    using intonation to show meaning. English uses four intonation patterns – low fall,
    high fall, low rise and high rise. The rules of English stress are simple to learn, but
    impossible to see on the written page. Stress is perhaps the most important aspect of
    clear speech.

    Thirdly, we can improve our pronunciation. There are some tips for it. Listen to
    yourself. It is necessary to record your voice and listen it, because you can hear your
    pronunciation problems and correct them. Watch yourself. Stand in front of a mirror
    to see the placement of your tongue, lips, and a shape of your mouth. Pay attention
    to intonation and stress. You should understand where your voice is rising and
    falling in the sentence. And understand where some sounds should pronounce louder
    or clearer than others. Read poems, speeches and tongue twisters aloud.

    In conclusion it should be said, that pronunciation has a very important role in


    learning English, in communication. For me, as interpreter, it is necessary to know
    how to understand and pronounce correct to be understood because this job is
    connected with communication with people.
