PREFACE

I always believe that correct pronunciation is the key to a

successful communication. It is important to learn proper
pronunciation especially if youre not a native speaker. Tendencies
for non-native speakers is to utter words incorrectly and it may
give confusion or even headache to their listener. In English, there
are some words which has the same spelling but pronounced
differently. Once you pronounced it incorrectly it might mean
another word or another meaning depending on the stress or tone
you use. Articulation, stress, and intonation are the main aspects
of pronunciation. Therefore, proper usage of pronunciation plays a
vital role in communication we use day by day. Now, learning this
subject is not that easy. But accepting this as a challenge and
making it as a fun learning more than a serious one would be
more effective. So, are you ready to accept the challenge? Just
believe and together, lets make it happen.
