Pronouncing English words correctly is essential for effective communication. Spanish speakers show a tendency to read English words the way they are written, as we do in Spanish, which results in endless difficulties to make ourselves understood.
It is always a good study idea to compile vocabulary lists to memorise and revise new words and expressions. The books of Modules 1, 2 and 3 of That's English! bring vocabulary lists at the back. However, as well as learning the meaning of new (and old) words, we must make sure that we know how to pronounce them.
howjsay.com is an extraoridinary online pronunciation dictionary that can help us pronounce words and names correctly. We must try and get into the habit of checking the pronunciation of new words.
