CONSONANT SOUNDS

I had mentioned we would be focusing on consonants during the second term. If you go to minute 5.20 you can hear how consonants are pronounced in English and also the difference between voice and voiceless consonants.



PHONETICS. VOWEL SOUNDS


LONG SCHWA


PHONETICS. VOWEL SOUNDS. THE SCHWA SOUND

I was trying to make some changes and unluckily lost some post. Before I forget, let me add them again.

Passive form: Impersonal and infinitive forms. 2 BACH


You have studied the passive forms before and you have a great grammar workshop on pages 93 and 94. You can also check other posts in this blog. The impersonal form is maybe new for some of you, so I have chosen a video for you to watch and listen carefully.

READERS 2 BACH.OFFICIALLY DEAD by Richard Prescott AND OTHER OPTIONS


This is one of the options for 2nd Bach students. I have found it online which may be useful to improve your pronunciation.

Remember you can also have a look at other titles if you are not reading an abridged version.

You can have them sent home at a reasonable price if you find them in the next link.


And if you have thought of "Everything, Everything"
