[prəˌnʌnsiˈeɪʃn] n. 发音，读音
Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So I began to watch other English movies, too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their face helped me to get the meaning.

I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them up in a dictionary.

I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation improved as well by listening to the conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something interesting is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It is a piece of cake” or “It serves you right”.
But I don’t understand many of the words. I have to use a dictionary.
[ˈsentəns] n. 句子
