My previous girlfriend whom studied english at the university got me really interested in being better at english. It’s not that I was bad at it before, but I sure could be a lot better. My pronunciation in the other hand has always been just plain horrible, which I’m mainly concentrating on improving.
Just hearing her pronunce everything with a seemingly real (to me) british accent made me realize how bad my own pronunciation really is. Upon my request, she taught me to pronunce “th” better, and I realized I don’t have to sound like I do. There’s no reason I couldn’t pronunce things well, and I definitely want to.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t dream of sounding like a native brit or american, I just don’t want to sound like I’m just muttering the words in my native language.
