LEARNING ENGLISH

It is not easy for adult students of English to improve their accent. Unlike children who are

flexible, adults often find it hard to change the way they speak. This is why even the top, or

smartest adult students have difficulty with pronunciation There are several things that an

international student can do to improve his or her pronunciation.

One method is to sign up for a pronunciation class. Studying pronunciation can help

students to understand the rules of English, but in order to practice speaking students often need

to be exposed to English outside the classroom as well. This is why many students say that

studying in an English-speaking country greatly affects their English. Living with native speakers

can help students to learn new vocabulary as well as improve their accents, International students

can also learn important cultural information. This can help to prevent misunderstandings that can

occur when people from different cultures live together.
