I have been planning a lesson on this aspect but for one reason or other i had to stop. Great that i read this article from you. Hope you will continue and come up with more such posts in future to complement this series. Pronunciation is really a very essential element of English language, specially speaking. Good pronunciation fosters good communication and bad one mars. English is full of homonyms and if words are not pronounced correctly certainly the flow of speaking is broken and it is again back to square one. Pronounce rightly, foster communication and win hearts. LOl Excellent post and a supplement to my reading and knowledge.
