Importance of Efficient Pronunciation for Speaking English

One of the main reasons why some people experience pain in their mouth when speaking English is inefficient pronunciation. When focusing too much on correct pronunciation, individuals may unintentionally use more muscles than needed, leading to exhaustion and discomfort. For example, over-articulating sounds like the T-H by involving lips, cheeks, and throat can result in unnecessary tension. Efficient pronunciation involves using only the necessary muscles for each sound. By optimizing pronunciation, individuals can reduce fatigue and pain associated with speaking.
