It's just great!
Thank you so much
Brilliant
I discovered this podcast last week and I am already an addict. I learnt a lot about pronunciation, like how to stress words or to place the tong. It is a very useful programme, also useful for British English pronunciation. Thank you.
"--- Natives specials" are very helpful!
Thank you so much for this very well done and concise podcast, it helps a lot. I am French, so I found the French Natives special podcast really interesting.. I am now aware of what I need to work on and pay attention to when speaking American. Although we are expected to speak standard British English at the university and for exams, a convincing American accent is undoubtedly better and will be more appreciated than a less than average British accent. I think many students find the American accent less daunting than the British one. I have listened to all the podcasts so far and learned new things in all of them. Thank you.
