Chinese learners of English are more likely to speak English with a Chinese accent. I would like to find out what these specific syllables are, and what I should pay attention to when speaking?
Clare, Hebei
Many Chinese learners of English might think they can read the following sentences easily:
These three brothers threw their things.
All the little girls called me into the hall.
The girl in white invited me to watch a video.
That fool put the beans into the full bin.
Yes, they look easy to read but the problem is that many Chinese learners don't realise they are pronouncing some sounds here incorrectly because they can't hear the difference.
Incorrect pronunciation can lead to misunderstandings with native English speakers.
