Clear pronunciation is not about faking a foreign accent; it is about enunciating sounds clearly so listeners understand you effortlessly on the very first attempt.
1. The V vs W Sound Confusion
In Hindi, the letter "व" is used for both V and W. In English:
- V Sound: Upper teeth touch the lower lip (e.g. Very, Victory, Vehicle).
- W Sound: Round your lips into an O-shape (e.g. Water, Welcome, Work).
2. The S vs SH Sound Confusion
Mixing "Same" and "Shame" or "See" and "She" causes severe miscommunication. Practice tongue positioning daily.
