For many learning English is a tricky thing. Few struggles with fluency, while few find it difficult to speak it and some despite having an overall good command over their spoken English, often struggle with pronunciation.
And, the problem with wrong pronunciation is that the one who is listening to you could feel completely perplexed, trying to figure out what exactly you had said. This is what happens if something is said without using the correct pronunciation.
Sonu Goel, says pronunciation is the key thing when it comes to mastering your spoken English.
