How can you practice your English pronunciation?

1) Practice for at least 30 minutes every day
There is no way around it: the only way your pronunciation will improve is if you practice, practice, practice! Your pronunciation will not magically improve just because you’re speaking English. The sounds of English may be very different from the sounds in your language. It may be difficult and even uncomfortable for your mouth to make some of the sounds in English.
2) Decide what kind of accent you would like to speak with
There are many different kinds of English accents. The two most common are British and American. There are many different accents even within British or American pronunciation, but most learning materials will help you learn either a standard British accent or a standard American accent.
3) Learn the IPA and the individual sounds of English
The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a collection of symbols that represent the different sounds of a language. When you know the all the sounds of English and the symbols that represent those sounds, you will be able to pronounce any word in English.

Yes, I have possibility of practice my English when I speak to my older sister boyfriend. He is from the London area and is now retired in Thailand. We meet sometimes and then I can practice my English. I also listen to news from foreign TV channels from Japan, UAE and by internet I can listen to BBC.

When you learn a new word, learn how to pronounce it correctly.
The longer you say a word incorrectly, the harder it becomes to learn to say it correctly. You’ve developed a bad habit, and it takes a long time to break a bad habit! This is why it is so important to learn the IPA and use dictionaries specifically for English learners.
Try to imitate spoken English. To ‘imitate’ means to copy someone/something, to do something the same way, or to do the same things as someone else. Do you really like the way someone speaks English? Try to copy the way they speak.

I am also one of people who have this problem. It is hard to pronouciation some words because it is quite difficult. I solved this problem by trying to learn how to pronounciation the words on Youtube.

Thanks you so much to share this!
I usally practice my friends on skype but it doesn't work much because they talk very fast.
Well, I will try it sometime to make my speaking better!

I believe that good pronunciation is essential for speaking
and understanding spoken English well.
The good way to improve your pronunciation is practice, practice and practice.
To improve your pronunciation, you have to work hard and practice often. If you only spend 5 minutes practicing, you won’t improve very quickly.
Another way to practice is speaking with foreign teachers. Let them to give feedback or correctly, clearly accent.

This is a great activity to try:
Close your eyes while you are listening to something in English (songs, TV shows, movies, etc.).
Listen carefully to what the speaker is saying and try to make the same sounds.
Choose a word or sentence, and listen to it many times.
Because there is nothing better than native speaker.

-Listen the word from native speaker so that you can confidently pronounce it.

Reading aloud is an easy practice. Becoming familiar with pronouncing vowels
in different words helps in speech. Listening to other people talk is another good tactic.

If you want to speak English well, you cannot pronounce English words using the sounds of your native language. If you do so, your English will be difficult to understand. For example, if your native language does not have the /θ/ sound, you cannot just replace it with /t/ or /s/. If you do, your thin will sound like tin or sin.
Therefore, you have to:
know all the English sounds
listen to how they sound in real words and sentences
practice your pronunciation; listen to English words and phrases, and try to repeat them as well as you can.
