@tatstew Pronunciation is related to the word itself, focusing on which syllables should be emphasized and how certain letters (or combinations of letters) should sound when spoken. Enunciation refers to how clearly and distinctly a particular individual forms the sounds that make up a word.
You may be able to pronounce a word correctly (good pronunciation) but speak too quickly or mumble and run your words together (poor enunciation). For example, you could say, “I am honored to meet you” (good pronunciation) but say it too softly for the listener to properly understand you (poor enunciation).
Does this make sense? If you had any questions feel free to ask me 🤗
