Here I bring you one of the most important resources I can hand you.

This is the phonetic chart, with sound, from the Cambridge University web page. This is very important when you are going to pronunce a word and you only have the phonetic transcription. 

I strongly recomend you to listen the pronunciation and try to repeat it until you see that it sounds simmilar.

Moreover, you can listen two versions, from a man and from a woman. Just click in the top right corner of the chart.

Well, to sum up our phonetic system I have found a system where you can find EVERYTHING you need to know about American English phonetics.

It has been difficult to me to embed this here, so I hope you like it!!!

And all the anatomy of the voicing system, from the same webpage, very very interesting!!! you can translate the terms to spanish if you don't understand something. I hope with this, you'll learn a lot of how ti pronunce the phonemes in english

Here I bring you an interesting video, called The Story of Stuff. We are going to improve our listening and enrich our vocabulary.

It is a video we can considerate as educational, for children maybe quite complicated, but with teenagers and adults can be very useful. It is about consumism, economics and ecology, you like it, don't you??

To make it easier, we are going to post it with spanish subtitles. I hope you like it:

The transcription of the video, with annotations of the writer, you can find HERE in PDF

Or you can see it directly here, footnoted by the author.

This is very important for teachers, when they have to teach english, pronunciation is basic, but if you want to improve your english, this is really neccessary.

There I bring you a slideshow I have done myself. There are several exercises about discriminate which word is pronunced with the right phoneme. When you download it, you'll be able to see how it really works, because you'll be able to listen the phoneme, to see if you have done it right or wrong... well, there it is!!

Well, today we are going to do an exercise of Listening!!! based on the Audio-lingual method, repeating several times the words we are going to learn how to pronunce the lyrics of this song. Much better than repeating some sentences without sense!!

I have written the lyrics behind the video, but this is not right! the parts in Bold ar wrong, or not!! so you have to listen carefully and try to see if it needs changes or it is ok. Good Luck!

To hear the song, I bring you the Video from youtube.

Maroon 5 - Won't go home without you




I asked her to stay but she wouldn't listen
She left before I had the chance to say
Oh
The words that would mend the things that were woken
But now it's far too late, she's said goodbye

Every night you cry yourself to see
Thinking: "Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?"
Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make all night
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

The last of her breath, I'll never get over
The noises that she made kept me away
Oh
The weight of things that remained unshaken
Built up so much it crushed us everyday

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking: "Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so heard?"
Hard to believe that

It's not over all right
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it truth the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

Of all the things I felt but never really shown
Perhaps the worst is that I ever let you grow
I should not ever let you go, oh oh oh

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it thought the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it fight
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you
