Introduction
Sometimes people who
are learning English as a
second language feel
embarrassed when they
have to speak in public or
in front of a audience.
What we want to do is
give them the material,
we could say the tools to
work on it. So basically
our project is focus on
pronunciation, also we
focus on the hardest
English sounds for
Spanish speakers

The S at the

They put and (-E-

the S and that makes
their pronunciation
even worse.

Suggestions
1- Listen to how speakers
pronounce various words and
phrases and try to imitate them.
2- Try to listen to some music,
specially with different accents
(British. Canadian, Australian…)
3- Try to learn the phonetic
alphabet, it gives you a reference of
how you should pronounce.
4- Talk as many times as you can
with your friends, you will learn new
vocabulary and how to pronounce
new words.
