UGoEigo offers two video podcast series to help you learn English pronunciation: “English Sounds” and “Functional Phrases”. Each lesson shows a close-up of the mouth saying the target sounds and words. Watch the video and say the words. Move your mouth the same way as the video — pretend that the screen is a mirror. This will help you make the sounds and words correctly.
