Many
times we shy away, hesitate or are reluctant to speak
at work or social situations, because we are afraid we might
mispronounce words.
Regain your
confidence in pronouncing words correctly
in
our 2-day course. You’ll learn how to pronounce
·
common words that usually have been mispronounced
·
words and phrases, you usually use at work
·
any
word in the Dictionary
You'll sound more refined, be better
understood; and impress others at work and social situations.
How do
you pronounce these words?
1.
Comparable
2.
Almond
3.
Debt
4.

Did you just read:
1.
Com-pare-re-bel
2.
Al-mon
3.
Debt
4.
Pre-sen-ta-tion
5.
Glo-ches-ter Road
If you did then you are one of thousands of Singaporeans
who mispronounce a lot of English words.
For the correct pronunciation for these words,
click here.
Well, it is not entirely your fault; the problem exists
because:
|
* |
English words, unlike words in our main three
Mother Tongues (Mandarin, Malay and Tamil), are not always read phonically (like rat, cat,
sat and mat), and |
|
* |
because, unlike our Mother
Tongues, English is a ‘stressed’ language. |
In our 2-day course,
you'll learn how to speak English correctly using phonics, phonetics; and
word and sentence stresses.
