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.

You need to know the patterns of pronunciation. You need a program like Pronunciation Patterns.

1. 4000 words (clear pronunciation of each word with a "sound graph" to show you how the sound is made) The program teaches you to pronounce the English sounds correctly.

4. LISTENING: You improve understanding by practicing similar words.

If you can find a program like this for under $500, I suggest that you should buy it. It takes me 25 hours with a student at $40 per hour to reduce their accent. I give them a lot of help, but it costs $1000 (minimum).
