TTS – TEXT TO SPEECH – PRONUNCIATION HELP

Many of you have difficulty with English pronunciation. It isn’t just the individual words, but the rhythm and intonation of the English language, which is so different from Spanish.

The following website is a Text To Speech tool. Just type a short text, like this paragraph, choose a voice and listen.  I recommend Rachel’s or Graham’s voice.  But you can try all the British English voices.

The speech you hear is not perfect, but it will help you. Maximum text length is 300 characters.

As I told you, the writing will be done in class  on January 13th and 14th respectively, and it might take us about 40' to do it.

If you have any questions on that, feel free to get back to me.

3B: Example of mini-saga story

Stupid MISTAKE!

It had been a hard exam. It had taken me more tan 4 hours  and I had  all the questions that my classmate next to me had told me.

The exam was over and outside the classroom everybody talked about it. I couldn't believe it! There were different exams, they weren't the same!!!

 I do recommend this video by Mr BEAN to sort of illustrate this mini-saga story. Just to have a laugh!!

Some more GRAMMAR: ADJECTIVES & NARRATIVE TENSES

Hi everybody,

Here are a couple of hand-outs to work adjective position and narrative tenses. The key to both activities will be posted within this week

NARRATIVE TENSES

PHONETICS: disappearing sounds "t" "d"

Sounds disappear
When the sounds /t/ or /d/ occur between two consonant sounds, they will often disappear completely from the pronunciation:

I’m going nex(t) week
That was the wors(t) job I ever had!
Jus(t) one person came to the party!
I can’(t) swim
