Pronunciation plays a crucial role in second language (L2) learning, directly impacting both comprehension and communication. While grammar and vocabulary are essential components of language acquisition, pronunciation is often underestimated, despite its significant influence on the effectiveness of communication. This article explores the importance of pronunciation in second language learning, examining how accurate pronunciation helps L2 learners be understood and how it affects their confidence and social integration.
