Audio Guide to British English Pronunciation | DavidAppleyard.com In an attempt to take some of the pain out of learning the kind of clear English pronunciation that prevents communication problems, I have here devised a set of memorable sentences as practice drills. The full range of English sounds is gone through systematically and spoon-fed in a form overseas students will want to repeat to themselves and then to the world. They might think it's just a form of entertainment, but before they know it they'll be speaking like a native! David V. Appleyard Start by creating a new folder with a simple name like "Pronunciation" or "Drills". Under "Visualizations" select "Album Art" to display the phonetic symbol of each sound being practised.

Practice makes perfect as they say, so the logic follows that the more learners are exposed to aural input, the better they’ll get at understanding it. Not just any input though. I’m always surprised how, during our needs analysis and discussion of how learners can help themselves improve their listening skills, lower-level groups suggest that they can just watch CNN and the BBC outside of class and expect to become fluent listeners. Fortunately, there’s a whole bounty of readily-accessible, mostly free listening resources for our learners available on the web.
