Pronunciation is one of the most important aspects one has to master when learning English. Pronunciation is how we pronounce or produce the sounds of words. When learning English, one of the most difficult subjects, besides grammar and vocabularies, is pronunciation. To master the English pronunciation, an English learner needs to practice speaking words every day. Before he or she can say the right sounds and intonations of words, first, the English learner must listen to how the words are spoken by native speakers.

One of the best ways to practice and improve your spoken English is to use the English pronunciation software. Here are several reasons why pronunciation software is a great tool you can use to practice your spoken English. The software program has the best voice recognition feature that gives you immediate feedback to let you know if you make the words and sounds correctly. You can say the words over and over again and the program will notify you when you say it perfectly. English pronunciation software is easy and cost effective. You do not have to travel to the pronunciation class, just sitting at your home or office computer and practice your pronunciation using the exercises provided. With the improvement of technology, at present time, various computer software and cassette recordings about English pronunciation have been available on the market. They are offered by English schools or certain companies. Go to a bookstore to find out whether such software is available or not. If you cannot find the pronunciation software at the bookstores or language schools, you can still get them from the internet. This kind of software can be expensive but it's worth buying.

One of the software that I have found and it can teach about pronounciation namely ABC 4 Kids. ABC 4 Kids workshop is a highly popular ABC Kids Multimedia spelling games software used Worldwide in over 75 Countries for Kids to learn English ABC Alphabets and Word spelling activities using Pictures, Realistic Speech Audio and Self-testing via a easy Graphical and Audio-Visual oriented process.
