After the USA, India is the second largest English speaking country. Although English might not be our first language, but many of us manage to speak in Basic English. No one can learn a language in one day, rather it’s a continuous process. We learn it, when we speak daily. Often while speaking, we don’t pronounce a word the way it is written. If we know how to pronounce a word, then it would be easier for us to speak in English fluently. Pronouncing the correct word is very much essential because without correct articulation, English language cannot be spoken fluently. Today, we will share some tips to improve pronunciation with tongue twisters.
