All things

Like the videos to the right show, English is a tricky language, especially when it comes to its pronunciation.

​

If, like "The Italian Man to Went to Malta," you haven't mastered its vowels, you might get into some misunderstandings.

​

Even English speakers have trouble understanding other English speakers sometimes, like that English policeman in "Perfect Accent" or those two Scotsmen stuck in a voice-activated elevator set to understand only the American accent, find out.

​

And Professor Higgins famously rails against imperfect English accents in the famed musical "My Fair Lady" (Read the lyrics to the song in our blog).

​

This is just the tip of the iceberg of issues in English pronunciation. It never ends. But this is a good place to start.

​

Master English pronunciation, and its relatively easy grammar will follow!

​

The rest, all the expressions, idioms and sayings, takes a while (maybe even a lifetime) to learn.

Great American TV shows like Seinfeld, Friends and The Office, will give you a good head start. Look them up on YouTube and Netflix.
