Instead of focusing on individual sounds, we will look at words and sentences and the 'music' of speaking the English language. This will make you sound more natural when you speak and the listener will be more interested in what you have to say.
Description
English has unique sounds, like all other languages. For instance, the 'th' in English is particularly unusual for many non-native speakers. But English words and sentences are also full of high and low, fast and slow sounds. If we don't say the words, but hum the word, we can hear that 'music'.
In this course we will focus on hearing the music of English and repeating it. These lessons will improve your overall confidence and get native speakers' attention. They'll think 'his/her English is really good!'.
I use visuals, written words and speaking in this lesson, so please use a large computer screen and not your phone for this lesson. Thank you!
