Random language learning tip #2 | Read out loud
Random language learning tip of the day #2:)
Read out loud in your target language for at least 15 minutes every day in order to gain pronunciation 'stability'.
When you speak any language, you engage muscles, which then through mechanics move your speech organs into different positions, producing the sounds you need. In foreign languages, there are many positions that you are not used to and on a very mechanical level, the production of these sounds is an obstacle. This results in a loss of stability in the language and a loss of pronunciation confidence.
When you read out loud regularly, you exercise your speech organ muscles, slowly learn how to automatize individual mechanical processes, gain pronunciation stability and confidence and remove the obstacle that pronunciation mechanics cause. This will leave you with more time to concentrate on other aspects of the language such as grammar, vocabulary acquisition, word order etc.
