When learning the pronunciation of international phonetic symbols, we should pay attention to observing the teacher's mouth shape, observing the changes of pronunciation parts and actively imitating pronunciation. Beginners can imitate exercises in front of the mirror. In particular, the level of vowel pronunciation and the size of mouth opening are closely related to timbre. We can observe the difference of mouth shape through the mirror, and observe the activities of the tip of the tongue, the surface of the tongue and the leaves of the tongue, such as U and O, I and E, E and ε, and so on. Mastering accurate opening is of great significance for accurate pronunciation.

3. Pay attention to the comparison:

There are two aspects of comparison: first, compare the similarities and differences of phonetic symbols themselves, distinguish their characteristics, avoid confusion, and pay attention to the differences in pronunciation timbre; Second, pay attention to the differences between the phonemes of Putonghua and those of foreign languages (courses) or dialects, such as the similarities and differences between the phonemes [P], [K] and [T] of Putonghua and those of English [B], [G] and [D].

By comparison, we can identify the differences of phonemes in the Y effect, so as to pronounce them accurately. Pay special attention to the differences between Mandarin phonemes and English Y morphemes. Some voiced phonemes are not found in ordinary phonetic systems, and beginners can't be confused with some consonants in Mandarin.
