How I will continue working on my pronunciation

I really discovered the benefits of ‘howjsay.com’ or other sites providing sound samples next to vocabulary while I was preparing for PC2. I was impressed how it is possible to acquire particular sounds just by listening carefully to them and repeating them. Therefore, I will also use those sites in future, especially if I am unsure about the actual intonation of a word. Moreover, I am convinced watching British or American TV series, movies in cinema or simply videos on the internet can contribute to a better pronunciation if I listen to them with great attention. I will also try to compile a list of difficult words I come across while reading in order to check how they are pronounced correctly. I really became aware of how little attention I paid to pronunciation before, even though proper speaking is an essential part of any working conversation, sometimes leading to misunderstandings if neglected. Taking into consideration all these facts, I am determined to devote much more time and energy to pronunciation exercises. This will definitely help me ameliorate my passive and active use of English and allow me delivering more eloquent, sophisticated and comprehensible speeches.
