2025-01: sentences to practice rhythm, stress, & intonation
Episode 11
Saturday, 11 January, 2025
Send me a text message. Suggestions? Subjects for future podcasts? Let me know--thanks!It's okay to read the sentences if you need to, but please do NOT try to read them while you're repeating with the podcast. English spelling is a distraction. It's NOT a useful guide to pronunciation.* Close your eyes (unless you're driving!) and use your ears. Train yourself to really hear the sounds, rhythm, stress and intonation of my speech.1- I went downtown to pick up some food.2- He visited his mother in the late afternoon. 3- She cleaned her apartment for most of the day.4- We drove to the lake and swam for a few hours.5- I worked on my homework until it was finished.6- Where did you find such a good book?7- John takes his dog Rex for a walk twice a day.8- During the week I work 9 to 5.9- I started studying English many years ago.10- Whoever you invite is okay with me.11- Math and science are my favorite subjects.12- What kind of pizza would you like to have?13- Green is not my favorite color.14- I ate chicken; my mom chose pasta.15- My father works too much. It’s getting him down.16- If you don’t understand me I’ll speak more slowly.*(If you have any doubts about this, have a native speaker say these words for you:tough, though, house, pour, group, cousin, loud, fourth... Yeah, what a mess.)Note: the podcast website lets you send me a text message but (WHY???) it doesn't let me text you back. So please use the email link if you'd like to hear back from me.
