    Disability in music and theatre

    Disability in music and theatre

    The UK's Equality Act of 2010 guaranteed the rights of disabled people to equal access to education, employment, and services, including music, theatre and the arts. Despite this, it's still difficult for disabled musicians and music fans to perform and see live music. Neil and Georgie introduce you to some ways people are trying to change this, while teaching you some useful vocabulary. (Image: Getty)

C'est bien

J'adore ce podcasts le seul truc c’est que ils parlent en british et du coup j’ai un peu de mal à comprendre ayant l’accent américain.

Difference entre app sur iPhone et iPad

J’ai l’appli depuis longtemps maintenant. Sur l’iPad il y a une vidéo du sujet ( qui aide évidemment beaucoup à la compréhension) et il y a le texte écrit en dessous avec des mots ciblés , c’est super ! Sur l’iPhone, rien de tout ça , que de “l’audible” quel dommage.

Accent bbc

J’aime beaucoup écouter ces petits audios en anglais RP ( Received Pronunciation)

Ça me permet d angliciser mon accent qui est plutôt international.
Les sujets sont intéressants et très intelligibles
Je travaille avec ces podcasts pour mes élèves
🙏thank you 🙏
