The migrant workers have helped you step on the pit of self-learning English. Her name is Anhe, and she is a junior employee of a foreign company. Today she would like to share with us her journey of learning English on her own for more than a year.
Since learning English for more than a year, Ann and English have indeed made great progress, especially in spoken English, which has improved significantly. Due to Anhe's work in a foreign company, the project will often need to report to foreign bosses in English, and Anhe's spoken English was not very good before, so he was very unconfident, always submissive at the project meeting, and did not dare to speak at the necessary moment, but now Anhe has been able to speak freely at the project meeting.
Looking back now, the efforts of more than a year have indeed made Anhe a lot of progress, but Anhe has also stepped on a lot of pitfalls in the process. One of the big pitfalls is the dead pronunciation, at that time An He felt that since he was going to re-learn, he had to learn the pronunciation well, for this reason, An He spent a whole month on the learning of the phonetic alphabet, the key is that after a month did not get the effect that An He was satisfied with, many pronunciations are still not standard.
An He said, later I found out that in the actual communication, everyone will not pay special attention to your pronunciation, but pay attention to what you say, occasionally the pronunciation is inaccurate, it will not hurt, others pay more attention to what you say, what you want to express, after all, language is a communication tool, no one will be too nitpicky about whether a tool is perfect.
In the past, I paid too much attention to the pronunciation of individual words, and I spent a lot of time struggling with the pronunciation rules of words, but in later practice, this method proved to be wrong. I pronounce all the individual words standardly, but when I put the words into the sentences, they are typed back to the original form, so the practice pronunciation must be combined with the words and sentences, and the words are put into sentences to practice, so that you can become more and more fluent in English pronunciation.
The above are some of the pits that An He has stepped on in the process of self-learning English, and the reason why An He shared it is that he hopes to help more friends and avoid everyone stepping on the pit again.
