How to Improve Your English Pronunciation Public Class

About the Class

I will present my proven method to improve English pronunciation very easy and without any cost. All you need is available on the Internet. To perform this method you need only these resources:

1. An audio software to playback MP3 files in a loop

I use audacity that you can download at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

2. An audio book in MP3 format

I just pick some favorite stories from http://librivox.org/ where you can download audio books, read by volunteers. You should pick one that is read by a native speaker.

3. A text file for the audio book that you have in MP3 format

This text can be obtained from the same site http://librivox.org/ where you can find the text link on the gutenberg project for the audio book.

And optional:

4. A set of headphones

this is not necessary but helps a lot understanding the nuances of the language.

5. A microphone

also not necessary but it helps to control your own pronunciation in the process.

6. A mixer (hardware)

not necessary but useful if you can mix your computer output with your microphone so that you can hear both the audio book reading and your own voice.

You also need:

7. Some patience and time (preferably 10-20 minutes every day).

I will walk you through the process of finding the audio books, downloading audio and text files, playing back the audio while speaking the text along with listening to the audio.
