In this lecture we will review the most common mistakes in English pronunciation. Before we start, I want you to remember one important thing

your accent has nothing to do with your pronunciation

Everybody has an accent. I have an accent. My children have accents. Even the Queen has an accent.

Sometimes you are able to get rid of your accent or to change your accent (for example, if you move to a new country) but in most cases it is not easy.

However, your pronunciation is very very important. And in this lecture I will help you improve your English pronunciation.
