Pronunciation
Two very good pronunciation resources are: Sky Pronunciation
Suite - Very comprehensive suite, includes five programs (the titles say it all!): The Phonemic Alphabet in English, Similar Sounds, Word and Phrasal Stress, Stress and Rhythm, and, just published, Rhythms from Rainland. Connected
Speech - This CD-Rom helps with aspects of pronunciation
in, as the title suggests, connected speech. It looks
at pause groups, pitch change, sentence stress, linking,
syllable and word stress and the international phonetic
alphabet.
Just
a Minute - This is a BBC comedy program where contestants
have to speak for a minute on a given topic without
hesitation, repetition or deviation from the topic.
Don't worry: you won't have to perform like this in
most exams! www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/comedy...
