    Send me a text message. Suggestions? Subjects for future podcasts? Let me know--thanks!Here's a short poem to help you practice S, Z, and SH sounds.

    Mind Your Vs and Ws

    Send me a text message. Suggestions? Subjects for future podcasts? Let me know--thanks!English has V sounds and W sounds. But some languages only have one or the other. If your native language is missing one of these sounds, you need to learn it. Otherwise we won’t know if you want to say “wet” or “vet”.

    Up 'n down, over 'n over: reductions with "and"

    Send me a text message. Suggestions? Subjects for future podcasts? Let me know--thanks!English is full of reductions. We write “going to” but we say “gonna” for example.The conjunction “and” is often reduced to an /n/ sound. So “hot and cold” becomes “hot ’n’ cold” and so on.
