Si has leído mi e-book sabrás que uno de los pilares de esta web, una de las claves para aprender inglés es el estudio de la fonética. La única manera de mejorar tu listening, y si quieres hacerlo de una manera bestial, es aprender un poco de fonética inglesa. Esto puede abrirte los ojos y enseñarte qué es lo que hacen los nativos cuando hablan, eso que a ti te suena a chino y hace que sea inteligible lo que dicen. Y es que el español y el inglés son idiomas muy distintos en ese sentido. Dado que escribiré varios posts sobre este tema, voy a organizarlos todos en este único artículo de modo que dispongas de una lista útil y fácil de leer.

at the hairdresser's Image Credit: Pixabay I was asked a few weeks ago by a reader if I could write a post about hair, hairdressers and hairstyles. She needed to see her hairdresser and wanted to know how to explain what she wanted doing to her hair. So I thought to myself what better time to write about hair than when I’m at the hairdresser’s! As I write this post, I am at my hairdresser’s having my hair done. Me having my flashlights and roots done! I get my hair coloured and cut every five weeks and have the flashlights every ten weeks. So as my hairdresser put the gown over my clothes as protection, I told her that I was going to ask her a number of questions about hair and hairstyles. ColouringFirst of all, I asked her about all the different colouring treatments you can have. For those of us who want to cover our grey hair, we have the option of either a semi-permanent or permanent colour. WashingAfter all that colouring, it’s always a relief to have my hair thoroughly washed or shampooed. Ciao for now

Voscreen: teaching with video clips I might be a bit late to the Voscreen party as I’ve discovered this free platform a couple of months ago. I’ve been experimenting with it quite a bit and I’d like to share my 10 ideas about using it with English learners in and out of the classroom. What is Voscreen? Voscreen is a free platform (you need to sign up / log in with your Facebook account which takes 5 seconds) offering a variety of very short video clips which come from TV series, movies, songs, you name it. In each short clip, a phrase is said. As you enter the website, you select your native language, watch the clip, and then choose the accurate translation to the short phrase uttered in the clip. There are 5 levels of difficulty to choose from, as well as a number of grammar categories to browse through (Present Simple, Prepositions, Phrasal Verbs, Passive Voice etc.). Using Voscreen with students #1 Paraphrasing (levels intermediate and higher) Voscreen lends itself perfectly to practice paraphrasing. Example: #6 Why?

Trucos para la correcta pronunciación de palabras en inglés | animalaes Aprender a pronunciar bien en inglés es muy importante. Por desgracia, el inglés no es como el español, que se lee tal y como se escribe, en inglés no tenemos esa ventaja. Es una de las cosas que hace que pierdas un poco la motivación de aprender inglés, pero no hay que desanimarse. Mi profesora de inglés me dio unas cuantas reglas que considero muy útiles a la hora de saber como pronunciar una palabra en inglés que no conocemos o que nunca la hemos oido con anterioridad. Lo primero que tenemos que hacer es separar la palabra en sílabas. También tenemos que saber que la letra “r” es muda después de cualquier vocal y hace que cambie el sonido de la vocal. Dicho esto, las posibilidades de pronunciar las vocales aumentan. Vocales Vocal A La vocal A tiene cuatro posibles pronunciaciones dependiendo de: Kate: si la separamos en sílabas tenemos Ka-te, por lo que la primera sílaba es una sílaba abierta y se lee como en el alfabeto, ei.
