*** ( PaTieNCe ) ***

When teaching pronunciation, we need to be very patient. We should remember that different languages use different methods of speaking. Some use the throat, some use the tongue etc.For example: “th” is difficult to pronounce (that, this, them, both, although etc.) Here is a perfect example from the movie “The Pink Panther” directed by Shawn Levy.

Enjoy….

   Learning pronounciaton is really fun especially when making conversations and discussions. I think there was a sentence like this “There are three trees…” to pronounce “th” by repeating several times.

   When my friend Lamah visited Turkey, we went to the ottoman palace. She was asking for the bathroom 10 times and each time I took her to the Sultans Bedroom! Pronunciation is important! It can cause health damage! Hehahaehe!
