Hi guys! Athough we know it is impossible for us to practice speaking with you through the blog. In this section of the blog we will provide you with a series of activities that will help you to keep developing your speaking skills in your own.
Yet, before giving you any speaking activity, let us show you the English phonological alphabet:
Could you tell us the differences you can identify between the Spanish and the English phonological system?
Now you have identify those differences, practice some of those sounds reading out loud the following tongue-twisters. Before reading each of the tongue-twisters look up in a dictionary the way in which each of the words is pronounced.
1. Sea shells on the sea shore: She sells sea shells in the sea shore.
2. How much wood... : How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
3. Petter Piper: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
4. The bug & the bear: A big bug bit a bold bald bear and the bold bald bear bled blood badly.
5. The Sheik's sheep: The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick.
