ome tudent are very good at learning englih pronunciation. they peak the language beautifully. other tudent, however, find it difficult to learn accurate englih pronunciation. what, then make the difference?

thirdly, contacting with native peaker of the language ha trong poitive effect on pronunciation. fourthly, and poibly the leat important, wa the tudent own natural ability. agoodear and the ability to imitate help, but are far le ignificant than the other three factor.
