Enjoying English – Verbal Diary – Tip

 

In this video I’m going to share a really great way of improving your English. I call it ‘Verbal Diary’. I’m not talking about writing a diary; I’m talking about keeping a diary by talking.

The really great thing about this is that it will take you just 5 minutes or less each day – amazing!

It will help you improve your;

1.       Speaking ability

This is how you do it.

1.       Say one or two sentences a day.

2.       Don’t think too hard about it – just say it.

3.       Record yourself using your MP3, your computer or some other device.

You need to check your work to make sure that it is correct and there are two ways you can do this.

First, if you have an English teacher simply bring your verbal diary to class and ask your teacher to check your grammar etc.

Second, if you don’t have a teacher I have found a great resource online that you can use. http://textranch.com Go to this site and type in your sentence to see if it is correct - simple.

Enjoy the video

 

Actions

English Learning Tip - Intonation Rules? - tip

Hi everyone,

Many English language students ask me 'What are the rules of intonation?'

and my answer is always that there are NO rules.

So how can you effectively improve this area of your English?

Because this is the tip section of my blog I have a solution for you. :-)

Follow the basic rules below which will help you make your English sound more natural. These rules CAN be broken sometimes, thats why I said NO rules before but you need to start somewhere in getting your English sounding natural.

Enjoy the video

Here are your actions.

1. Choose a paragraph of writing - 5 or 10 sentences in length.
2. Read the paragraph out loud.
   • At the end of every sentence your voice should go down.
   • If you are reading a question your voice should go up.
3. Practice your paragraph a minimum of 10 ten times.
4. Record yourself reading the paragraph.
5. Listen to your recording.
6. If you haven't followed the basic rules in step 2 then repeat.

Make sure you watch the video so you can hear examples of the actions.

I hope you found this tip helpful - let me know how you get on by leaving a comment in the box below this post.
