Eng 05 Pronunciation in Spoken English
Indian English has distinct features: retroflex consonants, syllable-timed rhythm, and schwa sounds. Common pitfalls: "schedule" (sked-yool, not shed-ul), "receipt" (rhymes with "sweet"), "th" sounds (Indians say "d" or "t": "dis" for "this"). Your accent is fine; clarity is the goal.
Word stress makes huge difference. "REcord" (noun) vs "reCORD" (verb). "PREsent" vs "preSENT." Indians often stress first syllable; English differs. Listening to native speakers and noticing stress fixes 30% of clarity issues.
Linking and intonation: "Did you" sounds like "didja," "want to" sounds like "wanna." Practice flowing speech, not word-by-word. Intonation signals questions vs statements: "You're coming?" (rising = asking) vs "You're coming." (falling = telling). Vary your intonation to sound more fluent.
