hello everybody my name is David Claussen I am an ESL teacher in
Colorado USA
and
usually I don't have to do this with most students but
sometimes it's good to have English
pronunciation practice so I thought I would do the most common words, common sounds
some phonics
so you can practice and the key is is to just kind of watch my mouth how I move it so you can practice
it can be boring
most students I have don't really like it
but sometimes they need to they need to see how the mouth is moved and how to make the sounds
to do is to just do a few each day and over several months or a year your pronunciation will be very good you will be fluent
like a native speaker and you can take your accent and lessen it a little bit so
so on my website I made these
sounds that you can practice and
we will start with vowels and vowels have the letters AEIOU in them
so here we go so
sat cat
pat rat tap
tape
day
pain came they eight
air
air affair fair dare pair car tar far bar
Fred said
head
creep seep heap
peep sweet hear dear bur swerve curve computer
E here dier fear err burr swore her compute err a
pit kit pig
wanted I tight fight light fly kite
talk watch
coat soap
bow poke
toy boy coy
coy roy in this is a short like took cook put would this is long soon stew blue fruit
mouse down cow brown
pork
ball tall saw law rug dug glove shove turn first teacher
cube
Youtube new stew
so those are some basic vowel sounds
now we will do the consonant sounds
for all the other letters in the English alphabet
and these go a lot quicker they tend to not be as hard as the vowels so
bug boy busy
bother
Carrol cat key puck quit
chicken
catch watch
don't
dog dad
fine fish coffee phone photo rough go peg gone
hole whole hat
happy
giant jack jump sox box talks rocks tell lip let lime
man mat matter mom
nice dinner
knee Knock ping ding ring sing
paper pat pull happy rat berry ran city mice site see
ship
passion mission station
chef tick tap let debt
thought thrush thump
Vick vet vice violent
win wet wheel walk
yawn yes
zip is fizz cheese
so that's some English pronunciation practice
