How can I learn to pronounce English properly at 20 yo Anonymous 2016-11-20 21:13:09 Post No. 17781679 [Report]

How do I learn to pronounce English properly? I'm 20 years old already, and I'm afraid it might be too late, since I've never properly learned to pronounce the th sound as a kid, so most of my life I pronounced the words with a th sound as f or d, dis, dat, dose, dese etc.

I learned to pronounce th properly like, 2 years ago maybe. Ever since I've been actively trying to pronounce my ths as ths, and not ds. But man, it's fucking hard to switch. It's easy if the word is at the beginning, then I don't have to make a mental effort to pronounce it as th, but if it's in the middle of the sentence, I will subconsciously pronounce it as d, only to realize it later.

It's way easier to remember to pronounce ths if I read, but when I speak, it doesn't come to my mind.

Note that I'm not a native speaker.

I'd imagine it's really just a matter of habit, and you made the right move trying to switch but it'll probably be a few more years before you'll have it completely. It's a long process.

this is helpful as well of course, if you can afford/access it

Also, I'll mention that when I was a kid, I always pronounced my "r"s like "w"s (as a native english speaker). It took SEVEN YEARS (preschool-fifth grade) of speech therapy to fix that. Old habits die hard.

I've never been able to roll r's (instead I do a french-like gutural) and I live in a nation where the normal is to roll them.

Pronounciation is a bitch.
