Pronunciation

Do you think English pronunciation is difficult? You are not the only one...

Even though this guy does not agree with us... 

Listening activities are really useful in that sense, but practising a bit with the phonemic chart is also necessary. Have a look!

BBC Learning English also contains a phonetic chart, learning tips and quizzes.

If you want to know even more resources, this webpage contains links to many more. Take your time, investigate a bit, and share the best you find!

My dear students, HERE WE ARE! Facing a new adventure: learning a bit more English! I hope this blog will be useful and fun. Enjoy!
To begin with, I would like to recommend you a place where you can practice some basic concepts by playing: my Wiki. Also my wonderful partner has created many activities to work on the contents of your level on your own. Have a look here.

There are plenty of WebQuests in the net, dealing with very different topics. In the following list there are some I find really useful.

Sightseeing London. A virtual trip to this wonderful city.

The British Isles. Learn about its interesting history and culture.

Do you know Shakespeare? Some research to learn a bit about the author and his plays.

The Brothers Grim. Do you know these fairly tale tellers?
