What should I do if I mispronounce a word while speaking?

Keep speaking naturally without self-correction. Repeating or stopping hurts your Oral Fluency score much more than a single mispronounced word.

Today, I am eager to talk about Nikola Tesla, a visionary inventor whose innovations went far beyond his time and continue to influence our lives today. Tesla's story is not just about his inventions; it's about his extraordinary imagination and perseverance in the face of adversity. Nikola Tesla, often overshadowed by his contemporaries, was a prolific inventor and a brilliant mind. He is best known for his development of the alternating current (AC) electrical system, which is still the standard for global power distribution. This system enabled the efficient transmission of electricity over long distances, revolutionizing the way we use energy. Tesla's contributions weren't limited to electricity. He had a hand in the creation of radio, wireless communication, and even concepts that laid the groundwork for modern day robotics. His foresight in these fields showed a man thinking far ahead of his time. Nikola Tesla's legacy is a testament to the power of innovative thinking and relentless pursuit of scientific discovery. He reminds us that the ideas and creations of one individual can change the course of history.
