Explanation

English has consonant and vowel sounds that may not exist in your first language. Consonants include: stops (/p/, /b/, /t/, /d/), fricatives (/f/, /v/, /s/, /z/), affricates (/tʃ/, /dʒ/).

Vowels can be short (/ɪ/, /e/, /æ/) or long (/iː/, /ɑː/, /ɔː/). Diphthongs combine two vowel sounds: /eɪ/ (say), /aɪ/ (my), /ɔɪ/ (boy).

Practice minimal pairs (words differing by one sound): ship/sheep, bad/bed, light/right. Record yourself and compare with native speakers to improve pronunciation.
