You say yes, I say no...

Hi!

Quite a while ago I wrote one or two posts about homophones. Well, they're back!


Well, HERE's a game you can play to improve both your listening and pronunciation skills.

Enjoy!

A, B, C, D, E, F, G....

Even more advanced students get confused sometimes when they have to spell a word.

And they can get more confused yet if they're listening to someone spelling!

Do you know what you can do to change that? PRACTICE!

Listen to your heart!

Pronunciation!

-Ai, inglês é muito idiota. Praia e puta fala igual: beach e bitch!

-É, que nem merda e folha, shit e sheet!

-Well, super students, not really!

Apesar da pronúncia ser parecida, há uma diferença sutil.

And here's the ever-amazing Dave Sconda to help you with the pronunciation. Enjoy!

You say potato, I say potato!

We're going to play a game today.

But before you play, let's take a look at some prepositions just to make sure you get all the answers correct.

The Super Teacher is sitting ON the couch.

The Super Teacher is sitting ON the floor.

The Super Teacher is looking AT his beautiful girlfriend.

The Super Teacher is close TO his beautiful girlfriend.

Did you pay attention to the prepositions?

Let's review them before we play, alright?

• to sit ON
• to look AT
• to be close TO

Nice, so now let's play a listening activity about two couch potatoes (couch potato é alguém que não faz muita coisa além de assistir televisão).
