ESL Online: Learn English the interactive way

Learning to speak involves very specific strategies targeting the particular skills involved.
Immersion is an important one.
We don't learn to speak by writing or completing endless exercises in books.
Even apps need to be chosen carefully based on whether they will produce the correct results for the learner.

The British pronunciation is easier. Lean on the "t":
lit/ra/lly

For the American pronunciation, just replace the "t" with a "d" and pronounce all four of the syllables 😁:
li/de/ral/ly👍🏻

If you can't pronounce a word, syllabicate it. Practice saying the syllables slowly and then gradually speed up.
Get your tongue around it, literally 😏

😂
Using rhyming is a much better strategy:
Wine/vine/line/spine/fine/dine/mine all have the same i sound.
Vinyrd (vineyard) is just English in use (saying vin not vine).
Magazine and porcupine (zine and pine)? Poor letter- sound correspondence.
Etymology.
The exceptions to the rhyming ones 😑
Languages aren't science.
They are also not formed or governed by rules, but instead contain a lot of patterning and there are always exceptions.
This is because languages evolve creatively. They aren't constructed mechanically.
It's crucial to understand the Nature of the Beast 😁

😁Just keep talking and engaging with a kind and helpful teacher or native speaker who will model correct speech for you where needed.
Avoid doing this with another second language speaker as there may be too much self-criticism in the air.
Jump and learn how to fly on your way down, so to speak 😁
Used appropriately, sink or swim scenarios improve your speech because they develop coping mechanisms👍🏻

The VAGUEries (vagaries)🤪 of phonetic and L1 (native) pronunciation in English.
That's why a good starting point is learning the 44 sounds or phonemes of the language.
