Improve Your Cantonese Pronunciation!

One of the difficulties for Cantonese language learners is the pronunciation. Most language learners are used to sounds which only exist in their native languages. Therefore, it is essential to be aware of the different sound system. Listed below are some tips to mastering your pronunciation skills:

1.    Learn to recognise the differences between some English and Cantonese sounds.
2.    Try to hear carefully when you are listening to the CD or in class.
3.    Notice how some special sounds are made.
4.    Practise moving your lips, jaw, and tongue properly so that you can pronounce the sounds correctly.
5.    Choose good dictionaries and good language textbooks, they can add lots of new vocabulary to practice and make learning such an enjoyable experience.
6.    Don’t be shy, just try your best to express your idea, even if you make mistake, you can try to explain in simple way.
7.    Correct yourself whenever you make mistake, repeat again and again a new word until you are confidence.
8.    Accuracy is better than huge vocabulary.  If you are good at vocabulary but you say them wrongly, no one can actually understand you.
