24+ Pronunciation Resources: A Growing List Of (Mostly) Free Sources For Pron Practice

Hi class. A student asked me last week if I had any good resources for pronunciation practice. Here are some links and pronunciation resources that I and my friend IELTS With Jay have collected over the years:

Dedicated Courses Just For Vietnamese Learners

1. Qualified and Experienced IELTS Teachers

The best way to learn pronunciation is with a native English teacher who can teach you the real way to speak English. You can hear the way they talk and copy them. The teacher can also stop your bad habits before they get too bad!

Of course, we recommend taking a course with IELTSed. We offer courses just for speaking and pronunciation. Contact us to learn more.
