Improving English Pronunciation: Tip #2: Write, Write, Write!

There are various ways to improve your English pronunciation, but did you know writing can help?

Writing helps improve your vocabulary, and when writing your story, you will be forced to think about what you write. As a result, you will be sounding out words in your mind! You can even read them aloud, making this learning experience better.

Good writers will write their story once (“rough draft”), and then they will edit the story. They might choose better words to describe an item or a feeling. By exploring the possible word choices out there (such as a word’s synonyms and antonyms), you will learn many more words.

Many writers also use the dictionary when they try to explore different words. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary online is free, and after you search for a word, you can also hear its pronunciation.

Once you’re happy with your story, there are many things you can do with your finished work. Many people now post their short stories online on blogs, or on other websites. An example of a website featuring many writers’ literary works is Fanfiction.net.

Howcast has a wonderful video on “How to Write a Short Story,” which provides interesting advice on how to help you get started on your writing.
