Online phonetics resources Page maintained by Jennifer Smith ( Last revision and link check: August 2016 This is a list of web sites that might be useful in an introductory phonetics course for classroom demos or homework assignments; most of these sites include audio, images, or interactive material. The list began in 2000 with some of the phonetics resources compiled by Karen Steffen Chung (see LINGUIST List posts 11.1812, 11.1869, and 11.1964). It has grown to include other sites that I have found via LINGUIST List posts, web searches, and word-of-mouth — students in my Linguistic Phonetics and Introduction to Language courses have discovered some fantastic links. Many thanks to the people and organizations who designed the sites that appear on this list, and to Jaye Padgett for suggesting that I investigate what phonetics resources might be available online. I update this page about once a year to fix or remove broken links. ) for links to add. Contents (2) The larynx, phonation, and VOT (4) Basic acoustics
BBC Learning English | Pronunciation Tips Welcome to Jolly Learning La Declinación del Adjetivo en Alemán La declinación del adjetivo es una de las cosas más complicadas del alemán. Unas veces se declinan (hay 3 tipos de declinaciones) y otras veces no. Pero no os preocupéis, vamos a explicarlo para que se entienda fácilmente. Funciones del Adjetivo El adjetivo puede tener 3 funciones en la oración y sólo la función atributiva se declina. Atributiva (el adjetivo acompaña a un sustantivo). Declinación del adjetivo Como hemos dicho hay 3 tipos de declinación, dependiendo de la partícula que precede al adjetivo: Declinación débil (artículo determinado + adjetivo). Declinación débil La declinación débil se usa cuando: los artículos determinados (der, die, das) o los pronombres: dieser (este)jener (aquel)derjenige (el que)derselbe (el mismo)welcher (cúal) o indicadores de cantidad declinados: jeder (cada)mancher (alguno)aller (todo)... preceden al adjetivo, y este al nombre.

English Phrasal Verbs What is a Phrasal Verb? Phrasal verbs (also called multi-word verbs) are idiomatic expressions, combining verbs and prepositions to make new verbs whose meaning is often not obvious from the dictionary definitions of the individual words. They are widely used in both written and spoken English, and new ones are formed all the time as they are a flexible way of creating new terms. A phrasal verb consists of a verb and a preposition or adverb that modifies or changes the meaning; 'give up' is a phrasal verb that means 'stop doing' something, which is very different from 'give'. The word or words that modify a verb in this manner can also go under the name particle. Phrasal verbs can be divided into groups: Intransitive verbs These don't take an object Example: They had an argument, but they've made up now. Inseparable verbs The object must come after the particle. Example: They are looking after their grandchildren. Separable verbs In our phrasal verb list, we classify these as Separable [optional]

Idiom 28WET BEHIND THE EARSInexperienced / naivePeter is still too wet behind the ears. Phonetics: Beats and Rhythm –[Multimedia-English] One of the things that makes English difficult to understand for foreign students is its particular rhythm. Many languages are syllabic, that means that every syllable takes the same amount of time to pronounce. In some languages stressed syllables take longer than unstressed syllables, but still, the pronunciation unit is the syllable. English is different, we don't care about syllables, we don't even care about words, it's all about beats (sound units). But not all words are affected in the same way. 1- Content words the words with meaning (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs) 2- Grammatical words words with no meaning, but they build the grammatical structure of the sentence (prepositions, articles, verb particles, pronouns, etc.) Every sound unit (beat) has a content word, which is the most important part of it. Here's an example: Hi, What were you doing when I rang an hour ago? Content words hi, doing, rang, hourStructure words HI / what were you DOing / when i RANG / an HOUR ago
