CANADIAN ENGLISH, JUST FOR A CHANGE!...

The bloke on the video is Canadian. North American English, a little bit different from US American accent. Note his intonation... Quite interesting. 

Canada is a member of the Commonwealth, a group of countries that are still connected to the British crown. Canadians still recognise Elizabeth as their queen. 

Interesting, isn't it? Enjoy the video.

LET'S TAKE CARE OF WHAT REALLY MATTERS: PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS INSTEAD OF VIRTUAL ONES!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!

DO THEY KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME!

We all know the world has not learnt to be fair yet. Few people live on what is taken from a great deal of empoverished countries around the world. Latin American and African nations are the most exploited ones. 
Commemorating the forgotten ones, some British singers recorded this song so as to raise funds for Africa. 

If the money truly reached Africa, we don't know... But they asked the world to think about it through their art.

Let's think about what we can do for the deprived ones! If we do something for them, we'll be doing something for ourselves!

I hope you have had a happy Xmas! Cheers!

PRONUNCIATION

Hello, there!

One of the biggest challenges of every teacher is find ways to help students improve their pronunciation. Depending on the student's mother tongue, acquiring the English phonetics can be an ordeal. Don't you agree?...
Well, one of the main problems concerning pronunciation, or the acquisition of an appropriate pronunciation, is what is called by scholars "fossilisation", that is, when a student mispronounces a word so many times that he cannot get rid of it anymore. There could be ways to help a student tackle such a problem. Teachers, who knows this one can help?...
At least, it's an attempt at making it easier to pronounce without making students feel distressed.

The link below is quite interesting in that it helps one pronounce words properly. Have a go at it!
Hope you enjoy it! See you...
