ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION COURSE FOR Malaysian Speakers

Have you noticed that you sometimes don’t pronounce consonant sounds at the ends of words in English? These are pronounced differently in Malaysian English and as such, to other English speakers, it sounds like you are leaving them off. 

Do you sometimes not pronounce all consonants in a consonant cluster? Such as the /ks/ in success /səkˈses/? Or the /skt/ at the end of ‘risked’ /rɪskt/? Malaysian English speakers sometimes pronounce consonants in a row differently to other native English speakers. 

Do you sometimes feel like the rhythm, stress and emphasis in your English is flatter, more even or monotonous than other native English speakers? This is because Malaysian English has quite a different rhythm to other types of English. 

Differences like the ones listed above can affect how easily listeners understand your English. These differences can mean that people need to concentrate to understand you, rather than just focusing on the meaning of what you are saying. 

Malaysian speakers systematically correct and improve their pronunciation of word endings, word stress, sentence stress, English weak vowels, English vowel sounds and English consonant sounds and consonant clusters and more with each English pronunciation lesson for Malaysian English speakers.
