Fun and enjoyable ways to practice pronunciation?

Question

English is not my native language and I'm really proud of being able to write it quite well. I have lots of problems with pronunciation though. In Finnish most words are pronounced the same as they are written and I've made a huge mistake by learning only how the words are written. I've now decided to become at least average speaker. I'd like hear to better/more enjoyable ways to practice pronunciation than violently forcing my friends to speak English with me.

Hello!

I am Cherelle and I am a teacher and tutor for the English language. Primarily I do conversational English and reading. I have the TESOL certification also known as the Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages.

There so many ways to practice your language for fun and that's mainly talking about topics that you're interested in, to start. You have already outstanding writing and obviously reading, you just need a conversation partner that you do not have to "force" to speak with you but that is willing to speak with you.

I am interested in doing so! I do this for a living and am used to working with those whose first language is not English.

Please let me know if you're interested or have any questions.

Thanks for your time!

Best,
