I've traveled to over 45 countries and I've almost three years in other countries. What can we learn from each other?
I've developed a pronunciation system called "It Sounds Like" and I hope people will avoid using IPA (backwards C, a+e, upside-down V). Let's talk! Write to freeEnglishLessons@gmail.com. My Orkut and Facebook accounts are both linked to FreeEnglishLessons@gmail.com.
I am a teacher in a school in Fort Lauderdale.
I have written some articles for Teacher Training -- look for them here.
http://www.VisualAndActive.com is my training website: YES, you can hire my colleagues and we can prepare an EXCELLENT long-term training program for teachers.

1) Make a recording of yourself reading something. Try to copy another person. npr.org and search for "This I Believe."
For example

2) I like it when people use my pronunciation videos and practice again and again... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT6_zi6CXzY
3) Join a club in your country. Find a US person and sit over coffee once a week.
4) Join Jair and me at 8:30 pm Brazilian time steveenglishteacher <<< skype... you can listen and participate. We talk for about 15 minutes and we have space for 7 more students.... plus Elica...

Steve, how are you?
What do you suggest to improve my pronounciation?
I try to listen songs and movies... but this is not enough.
When we were chatting during the classes I could receive your feedback...
I need something that teaches me to speak better....
Thanks!!! Lilian Aguiar - Brazil.
