We would like to conclude our recommendations on how to practice pronunciation by expressing the thought that studying the Circassian language requires permanent, daily, systematical trainings. Certain failings in pronunciation of sounds and their combinations, in constructing expressions and sentences should not upset the person, because this is a natural part of studying a language. Do not hesitate if something is pronounced wrong, instead, try to repeat these difficult phonemes, and the words they are in, until the right pronunciation and the appropriate speech habits are developed. Then success will come.
