2. What is
pronunciation?
Pronunciation is the act or
result of producing the
sounds of speech,
including articulation,
stress, and intonation,
often with reference to
some standard of
correctness or
acceptability. (source by:

In essence, pronunciation is a way of pronouncing in English which includes articulation,
emphasis, and intonation. Although articulation, emphasis, and intonation are clear,
pronunciation problems are common for those who are unfamiliar.

3. Pronunciation Problems
Pronunciation problems often occur when we want
to learn a new language, such as English. It is easier
for us to pronounce our mother tongue or the
language we were born with than it is to speak a
foreign language we have just learned
so when we pronounce difficult vocabulary in a foreign
language, we will pronounce the same words but with
different spelling sounds. For example like the pronunciation
of the word "tongue", if an Indonesian who is not used to
reading the word, s/he will read it clearly into "ton-gue".
