I saw that someone mentioned it already, but tongue twisters worked pretty good for me {-:
Also, a good idea to practice pronunciation is to record yourself. It helped me to understand what I`m saying not that perfect.
I`ll write again if I`ll have any ideas. The topic is great and useful!

I think for better pronunciation there should be more practice.
You can try mobile apps, for example this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... ion.tembry
There you can rate your current level and start improving your skills..

A great tip from my experience is to make regular use of English when speaking. According to studies, having regular conversations in that language is helpful for anyone learning a language. Movies, TV shows, news, and interviews with English subtitles are a few examples of video material. It will assist you in improving your command of everyday English. You should listen to podcasts, music, interviews, and other media in addition to reading books, periodicals, and newspapers. It will improve both your listening and reading skills when used in tandem. Your vocabulary will also get better. Reading free write ups and articles is a good way to improve pronunciation as sentences which are constructed using punctuation will define the tone of pronunciation and we will be able to pick up as we read along.

Pronunciation starts with listening. If you can't hear the subtle differences between words, it will be very difficult for you to say them yourself.

If these words are spoken individually, can you hear the difference?
