You don't need hours to improve your pronunciation — ten focused minutes a day, done consistently, works. Here's a simple daily routine that builds clarity over time.
Listen and shadow
Spend a few minutes listening to a native speaker and repeating right after them, matching their rhythm and sounds ('shadowing'). This trains your ear and mouth together and is remarkably effective.
Drill your problem sounds
Spend a couple of minutes on the specific sounds or words that trip you up, in real phrases. Targeted practice on your weak spots beats random drilling.
Record and compare
