Struggling with pronouncing words correctly

SimonoHaki
For context, I am an international student who has been using English for day-to-day communication for the past couple of years. Recently, I often struggle with pronouncing and enunciating certain words when I speak them out. It's as if my mouth and throat struggle to make those sounds. I've listened to my own recording and found that I indeed didn't pronounce it right. Furthermore, my voice in the recording sounds very flat and calm. Do you guys have any tips on how to improve this? Many Thanks!

i'm a native speaker, and i can help if you wanna dm me ever, but i also want you to know that many dialects of english have their own versions of pronunciation so there's a good chance context alone will allow somebody to understand what you mean. example: "bawl water" when you mean to say Boil Water. you don't need to be perfect to be understood!

what words do you struggle saying?

What language are you coming from, and which sounds do you struggle with the most?
