It's a hassle, but I should do it
I had my computer load the CD added as an appendix of an English phonetics book.
And then I played it and listened to it a little.
It contains the author's narrations.
It makes the CD different from the other materials like Kikutan.
Kikutan is the series of books with audio to build your vocabulary.
The phonetics book is saying:
Record your pronunciation and compare it with the author's pronunciation.
I have my own recorder and am familiar with it.
There is no need to use my smartphone to record.
Nevertheless, recording my pronunciation is a big hassle for me.
I might dislike to listen to my own bad pronunciation.
I feel it unacceptable.
However, I brought my recorder on the table.
I'd better speak recording date and take number when I record.
I can replay and compare when I get better.
So far, I haven't taken pronunciation seriously.
Now I have completely lost confidence in myself and been awkward to speak.
But I want to output more.
I dislike myself always remaining as a listener of other people.
I want to speak out via voice whether they are definition or usage of words.
Lack of speaking practise is the issue.
