Answer 2

First, decide whether you want to learn British, American, or Australian English. There are important differences. But they are all equally understandable (you can speak to an American with a British accent, for vice versa). I recommend learning American English, because Americans speak more clearly and never drop their R's. Then, listen to pronunciations. There is Pronunciationbook on YouTube to teach you how, or you can use a dictionary. There are some words that can be pronounced more than one way (like "often" or "either") and be equally correct. There are also some words that are written the same but have different, but often similar, meanings (separate, for example). Then you must learn how to "blend" words". Foreigners tend to give words their full pronunciation, and leave pauses in between the words. That will sound unnatural, like you are enunciating. Words blend together and may change their pronunciation sometimes. The "T" in "Metal" and "it is what it is" is often pronounced more like a "D". It is important to learn the English R sound. This is like an L, but curl your tongue back a bit. It should not touch the roof of the mouth. This is because the "Rolled R" can be confused with a "D" or "T". Also, learn the "Th" sounds. There are two versions of 'Th', both pronounced using the same tongue position. Don't be afraid to stick your tongue out a bit for Th. You have to! It may be rude in some cultures, but not so in ours. Try talking to some English speakers. Maybe take a trip to America, UK, Australia, or another English-speaking place. I went to Mexico for a week and I noticed an improvement in my speaking skills for Spanish.

Why don't you learn some Czech? It would be courteous to try and speak the native language instead of relying on English.
