There are some great sites on the Internet for practising pronunciation. Here are just a few:1. Elementary Pronunciation If you have never studied pronunciation before, this is a good place to start. Simple diagrams with recordings of the sounds + practice activities to help you sensitise to them.
2. Ship or Sheep Say 'ship' and 'sheep' out loud. Is there a difference? Many students have trouble distinguishing between 'minimal pairs' like 'ship' and 'sheep'.
3. Iowa University Phonetics If you have trouble making certain English sounds, then this may be the site for you. Although it's American English, this site uses diagrams of the mouth to show you exactly how to make the sounds.
4. Stress Monsters This a game and it's good fun as well as being useful. Here the focus it on word stress. I recommend you skip the elementary level game and go straight to intermediate.
Let us know which of these sites you found the most useful. And if you know any others, please share them with all of us.
