Incorrect English pronunciation due to a lack of knowledge of phonics rules, incorrect stress, and a lack of the final consonant sound is three “painful” mistakes that cause people to communicate ineffectively.
The rules of sound in each language are unique, and English is no exception. English has 40 different sounds that are divided into two categories: vowels and consonants.
In English, vowels are classified into two types: single vowels (monophthongs) and double vowels (diphthongs). Consonants are divided into unvoiced vowels and voiced vowels.
Sounds in English are pronounced differently in many cases despite having the same letter face.
There are at least 20 vowels in English that have different pronunciations from Vietnamese vowels, while also having a more diverse consonant system with wind sounds like //, //, //, /t/, /d/ do not appear in Vietnamese. Not to mention the sounds /t/, /d/, /p/, /k/, which also exist in Vietnamese but are still difficult for learners to acquire.
Furthermore, because these sounds do not exist in Vietnamese, Vietnamese people often have difficulty pronouncing these final sounds, particularly those ending in /s/, /z/, /k/, /g/, /d/. This is a significant challenge that requires learners to practice on a regular basis.
Finally, the accent. It is not enough to simply pronounce it correctly; it is also necessary to have the appropriate stress in order to have a meaningful conversation. Stress assists us in communicating naturally and conveying the appropriate message and feelings to people. This makes learning English more difficult to Vietnamese learners as their mother tongue doesn’t have stress on words. And stress in English has its own set of rules.
Pronunciation errors, in fact, should be corrected as soon as possible. Children learning a foreign language early will have an advantage over adults of correcting the mistakes. However, nothing is impossible There are currently numerous methods, tools, and applications available to assist us in improving this.
GOGA – an English learning app incubated by X3English is one of the most well-liked solutions today. This is Vietnam’s first English learning app to combine practical methods (learning by doing), gamification, and AI technology.
