The ten ways
You can do these in a different order, but try not to miss a step:
1. Learn all the 70 rules of pronunciation
2. Don’t learn the pronunciation of the words based on what they mean
3. Learn only the exceptions based on the meaning of the words
4. Practice out loud
5. Pay particular attention to what you feel in the mouth, as you pronounce them
6. Remember that, at the beginning, you will not hear your own mistakes
7. Look for the same patterns of letters in different words
8. Keep the rules of pronunciation handy, and correct yourself
9. Focus on clarity, rather than on “sounding like a Parisian”
10. Always use the help of a language coach to get you started
