Only a few years ago the English articulation basis would have been dismissed by most students as of no interest or importance. And certainly of no linguistic value: we didn't concentrate on pronunciation, we paid more attention to grammar — no one would think of the activity of the glottis, let alone, tension in it. But recently our attitude has gone through a dramatic change. We've come to value every sound in our speech precisely because otherwise we will not be understood in the course of communication. The English articulation basis has become infinitely precious to us because it is the indispensable foundation of our knowledge. We have suddenly become aware of just what a ridiculous impression we have made on our listeners speaking English with a heavy foreign accent. In the last few months, by our active and constant efforts, our pronunciation has improved greatly.
