Learning Strategy - read a book, either in paper or eBook version, while being accompanied by the same title in audiobook form. Just reading alone will not help your pronunciation because English is not a phonetic language. If you are hearing the word as you read it, your brain will make the connection, and next time you see that word, you will know how to pronounce it. And next time you hear that word, you will know how it’s spelt. I encourage you to try out this method because it will transmute your reading retention, your spelling, your vocabulary, your pronunciation, and your listening skills.
