Pronunciation Challenge
The examples you find in the pronunciation challenge are common mistakes that my students have made. Let' practice together so that you can avoid making the same mistakes!
Here are audio examples of the pronunciation challenge! I've recorded the example at 3 different speeds: normal talking speed, slow, and very slow.. Furthermore, the normal talking speed is digitally slowed down. When we speak at a normal speed, sometimes sounds may slightly change compared to when we purposefully slowly articulate every word. With the digitally slowed down version, you can take the time to hear the difference between the two versions! Enjoy!
