Dear Shubham,

The only way to improve your pronounciation is by practicing. So here is what you need:

1. Practice speaking very slowly. You can practice at home infront of mirror.

2. Use online dictionary or smartphone app dictionary which have pronounciations for each word. You find a word which you dont know how to pronounce and record on your phone your own pronounciation and then check that with online dictionay.

3. repeat 1 & 2...

remember its going to be slow in the beginning but after a while you will enjoy the process.

some of the websites:

1. dictionary.com

2. https://www.merriam-webster.com/

3. vocabulary.com (personal favorite)

good luck .. rakesh
