As we progress, we begin to imitate sounds and finally master the aspect of speech production. According to Matthias R. Mehl,Simine Vazire, Nairán Ramírez-Esparza, Richard B. Slatcher and James W.

In Malaysia, the need of fluency in English is in high demand. Either for studying or for working purposes, the competitive edge would always favour those with a fluent command
