The linguist David Wilkins summed up the importance of vocabulary learning when he said "Without grammar very little can be conveyed. Without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed."
Wilkins is right, of course, but one might add that pronunciation plays a very important role in second language learning, especially as far as English is concerned. You know that being able to pronounce English sounds is one of the keys in order to succeed in learning English. So, what are you waiting for? Why don't you start paying more attention to this area right now?
Yes, I want to improve my English pronunciation.
No, I don't want to improve my English pronunciation (watch this video, then)
