The Power of Sound in Language Learning
Starting with correct pronunciation significantly enhances language learning. Many learners often neglect this aspect, focusing instead on reading and writing, which can lead to poor pronunciation habits. A common suggestion is to engage with the sounds of the language right from the beginning by using minimal pairs—words that differ by just one sound—to train the ear and mouth for correct pronunciation. This establishes a stronger foundation in the language and makes it easier to recall vocabulary and speak fluently.
