One of the things we perceive most immediately from any language is how it sounds. We may enjoy listening to it. We are curious about how natives reproduce it so naturally. Then we probably think how difficult it may be for us to do so, especially when it comes to certain sounds that are not part of our mother tongue. Take for example some languages such as French, Portuguese, Chinese, Russian, English or Spanish. They all sound different! Not to mention there’s a wide range of accent variations in each... However, despite all the small or large differences we can find, there will always be a standard pronunciation in each language which makes learning and teaching more friendly.As language teachers or tutors it's key to approach target language standard pronunciation. Our students can use it and improve it to their preference throughout their learning journey. Let's keep in mind that pronunciation does not need to be perfect, but clear enough for it to be understood. It's up to us to give our students the foundations and tools they need to make it clearer.
