The Pronunciation Exercises presented here are similar to the "official" Ontario Ministry of Education Pre-primary, Primary, Remedial and ESL programs in the Curriculum. They are Montessori based in technique and student accountability. These Exercises are essential for anyone beginning to learn English well and/or to correct PRONUNCIATION, READING and SPEAKING.

The focus of these Exercises is on training the muscles of the tongue exclusively, and to reproduce the sounds heard and illustrated. The apparent simplicity of the Exercises may tempt some to dismiss the importance of learning to pronounce sounds correctly THE FIRST TIME, in order to avoid corrections later on, or getting into bad habits, which can cost socially and professionally.

Only when a speaker can reproduce these Exercises perfectly can he say that he has mastered them, otherwise the simplicity of the exercises can be misunderstood or taken for granted. Since PRACTICE makes perfect only REPETITION will ensure success.
