I try not to spend money on things I don’t need. Good money management really helps. Record yourself reading this — or try using two or three in a short paragraph: “If I play my cards right, this job interview could be a real game-changer. The name of the game is confidence — and I’ve got a solid game plan.”   🎧 Practice challenge Try saying this aloud: “For all I know, she’s in the know — but I certainly don’t know the ropes.”   Try this: ✅ “She’s a Virgo and I’m a Leo. Total opposites.” ✅ “Is he an Aquarius or a Pisces?” ✅ “I’m a Sagittarius — but I don't believe in all that!” 🎧 Record yourself saying your star sign and two others. Listen back. Did you use the correct syllable stress and vowel sounds?     Follow me on TikTok:@learningbritishaccent   #podcast #podcastclip #speakenglishwithabritishaccent #speakenglish #britishaccent #britishenglish #learnenglish #languagelearning #esl #ielts #toefl  #speakenglishwithabritishaccent #speakenglish #britishaccent #britishenglish #learnenglish #languagelearning #esl #ielts #toefl #englishaccent #ieltsspeaking #accenttraining #communicationskills #languagelearning #english #pronunciation #grammar #intonation #adjectives #nouns #verbs
