Pronouciation confuses me a lot these days!

These days, I'm a little sad for my pronounciation. I didn't meet such a problem before being here. I even thought my pronouciation standard. However, it seems everything is changing. I begin to suspect myself, just for someone came to me and said they couldn't catch my words based on my pronouce. I'm not sure whether it owes to the different tones. You know I'm from north while they're southeners. Oh my god! It's a big deal to me. I'm afraid I have to change this situation. Can i do it?

My pronounciation is not good. I've been learning English for many years. I think I'm good at reading and writing, but bad at listening and speaking. I pratised a lot but the effort is not abvious. Someone told me that, if you can't prounce well, just speak as slow and as clear as you can.

Try using the merriam-webster online dictionary and listen to the right pronunciation. Correct pronunciation will give us neutralized accent that can be understand whether by northern,southern,mountain and even New Yorker.

i also got problems with some of my pronunciation..but i'm trying to deal with it by trying to do some corrective ways with it..and if i'll have enough money, i'm thinking of enrolling myself to a training center that can teach me the right thngs about it and to enhance my talking also..
