00:00:00,530 --> 00:00:07,740
Congratulations and well done on

2
00:00:00,530 --> 00:00:07,740
completing this course. Should you stop

3
00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:15,929
there and think, "Hey, now I'm perfect"? Of

4
00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:15,929
course not. No matter how good we get, we

5
00:00:15,929 --> 00:00:21,779
can always improve a bit more, right? And

6
00:00:15,929 --> 00:00:21,779
that's what I want you to do. Don't stop

7
00:00:21,779 --> 00:00:25,439
there. Keep improving and keep trying to get

8
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:31,949
closer and closer to native-like

9
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:31,949
pronunciation. What do I want you to

10
00:00:31,949 --> 00:00:39,840
do now? The first thing I'd like you to

11
00:00:31,949 --> 00:00:39,840
do is simply start noticing. What do I

12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,329
mean by this? Well, when you listen to

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,329
native English speakers,

14
00:00:45,329 --> 00:00:52,620
you're friends, when you're listening to

15
00:00:45,329 --> 00:00:52,620
music, when you're watching movies, start

16
00:00:52,620 --> 00:00:59,309
to notice the sounds that the native

17
00:00:52,620 --> 00:00:59,309
speaker is using. Start to think about

18
00:00:59,309 --> 00:01:06,290
the sounds we studied in this course and

19
00:00:59,309 --> 00:01:06,290
how the native speaker is using them

20
00:01:06,290 --> 00:01:13,140
naturally. That's the first thing

21
00:01:06,290 --> 00:01:13,140
that I'd like you to do. Secondly, and

22
00:01:13,140 --> 00:01:22,470
very importantly, is continue listening

23
00:01:13,140 --> 00:01:22,470
to the MP3s that I provided for you.

24
00:01:22,470 --> 00:01:30,150
Why is this? Well, when you listen to the

25
00:01:22,470 --> 00:01:30,150
MP3s again and again and again, your

26
00:01:30,150 --> 00:01:37,650
brain will start to absorb these new

27
00:01:30,150 --> 00:01:37,650
sounds, the sound structures, how to make

28
00:01:37,650 --> 00:01:43,619
the sounds. So this is very very good for

29
00:01:37,650 --> 00:01:43,619
listening but it's very very good as

30
00:01:43,619 --> 00:01:50,189
well for your pronunciation because your

31
00:01:43,619 --> 00:01:50,189
brain knows the sound and that's going

32
00:01:50,189 --> 00:01:57,540
to help you produce the sound even more

33
00:01:50,189 --> 00:01:57,540
accurately. So keep listening to the MP3s

34
00:01:57,540 --> 00:02:05,880
as much as you can. Thank you again for

35
00:01:57,540 --> 00:02:05,880
taking this course. Congratulations and I

36
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:12,080
wish you the best of luck in your future

37
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:12,080
English studies!
