Many of our new
students say during their initial assessment test meeting that they want to improve particularly their grammar, tenses, listening or understanding, but
sometimes they forget how important pronunciation is in the whole
process of learning English.

We are not claiming that rich vocabulary or the knowledge of grammar rules is not essential for being capable of clear communication in English, but I think that you will agree with me when I say that the knowledge of language structure and material definitely cannot be applied to all situations.
To be completely honest
with you I will never forget when I had a confused conversation with my
host mother a couple of years ago when I first moved to Cardiff
about a cat from next door. Just to guess what animal I was talking about took us a couple of minutes because the lady had no idea
that I was trying to say 'cat', untill made a "miau" sound!

Being able to properly
pronounce words and understand other speakers can be of critical
importance in certain situations and let's be honest, good
pronunciation can contribute a lot to leaving a good first
impression.
One of the most
important tasks in learning English for a non-native English speakers
is losing the accent of their mother tongues and practising correct and
authentic English pronunciation.
Learning phonics can be great help with this – listening to the sounds and practising through constant repetitions can be immensely beneficial.

Significance
Proper pronunciation can be defined as a reproduction of language sounds in such a way that the intended message is passed easily, and is properly understood by a fluent speaker of the language in question.
Bad pronunciation can
result in a failure to convey the message and can cause troubles in
communication when they are least expected and welcome even among
native speakers.
I think many of us
"learners of English" have found themselves in a situation
where the pronunciation caused several misunderstandings either in professional or personal life. As we try to help you to improve every
aspect of English we have started a special class dedicated to the
pronunciation only. Every Tuesday from 12:30pm you can join one of our senior teachers and spend a whole hour improving your pronunciation - one sound per week!
