Pronunciation Follow Up - Post CPE & D'Amico Shipping

Click on the link below to watch a series on videos on pronunciation from Adrian Underhill:
http://www.macmillanenglish.com/pronunciation-skills/ In the videos he explains the layout of the phonemic chart,  how pronunciation can be made easier by dividing it into three levels: sounds, words and connected speech, how students can move away from the ‘grip’ of their mother tongue and how dividing the mouth into ‘muscle buttons’ can enable students to discover new sounds in their pronunciation.

On a lighter note, take a look at this sketch from British comedienne, Catherine Tate. Tate plays a typical London school girl called Lauren, how does she pronounce the "th"sounds /θð/?


to be bothered = to be worried,disturbed, upset
