If you want to practice your English pronunciation skills, you need to listen to words and sounds closely so that you can understand those little differences between similarly sounding words. You can do this by listening to the radio, speaking with native speakers, or listening to pronunciation tapes.
Here you will find links to several pronunciation lessons that you can listen to and read along with in order to properly pronounce your English words.

Songs are a great way to learn and practice English, especially if you can see the written words at the same time that they are being heard. At ELLLO, there is a song page that has several different songs to choose from and when you click on it the words appear on the screen Karaoke-style as the music plays. This is a fun and entertaining way to improve your grammar, pronunciation, reading, and idiom skills.
