This is talking about learning English pronunciation the right way:

1. And, if you practice in the wrong way, you get worse and worse. But, if you practice in the right way, hopefully you will be better and better.
===================================

2. And if you practice the wrong way, your pronunciation could get worse; however, if you do it the right way, your pronunciation is expected, hopefully, to get better.
==========================

Please critique and

Is "in the wrong way" the same as "the wrong way?"

Thanks.

Yes, they're the same.

1. It's correct, but a little "old-sounding." It was probably written by someone with a different dialect than me.

2. This is more like how I would express the thought. I would start a new sentence, though, with "However." I think it is ok as is, but it is a little long.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. Took the first one from a Taiwanese English discussion site.
