Sorry, Would You Repeat That?

This podcast series is about language learning, language teaching and language accents. I stumbled into my first podcast experience on the previous episode and have learned a little bit more about making them since then. This is a revised version of Episode 1 is about Russian Accents in English, and it now sports an Introduction, Music, Graphics, and even an Outro (woohoo). I've tried to make it a nicer experience for you! English learners and their teachers struggle, even at the advanced levels, with comprehensibility--being understood by native speakers. The features of one's first language form a filter for learners and get in the way of hearing and learning to produce certain English sounds. So pronunciation is all about becoming aware of those differences and then learning to make the new sounds and use them comfortably. Join us today as I talk about Russian accents with fluency teacher, Jennifer England. To learn more about Jennifer, go to http://english-laboratory.com or contact her at jennifer @
