L'indicativo imperfetto

Every culture has its own unique tendencies when it comes to pronouncing certain sounds in other languages. For example, where I was born, many people find it tricky to pronounce sounds like 'f' and 'p.' Even simple English words like 𝙛𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 can feel like torture.

For this episode, I’d like to focus on my Japanese friends. I know there are certain English sounds that can require extra effort to pronounce. My hope is that today’s episode will give you some helpful insights and tips to make those tricky sounds easier to master.

𝟭.	𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 >< 𝗦𝗨𝗡𝗚
🪄 His heart sank when he heard her sing.
🪄 He thanked her for the song she had sung.

𝟮.	𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗞 >< 𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗞
🪄 Watch out, boy! I think your toy will sink in the water.
🪄 When the ship was sinking, he began thinking, "Is this my last day on earth?"

𝟯.	𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 >< 𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗘
🪄 How dare you enter my room when I'm not there!
🪄 It's very dark over there. Do you dare to go there?

𝟰.	𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 >< 𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗬
🪄 These blueberries are very sweet.

𝟱.	𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 >< 𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧

🪄 Do you know what led the light on the right to turn red?

Tricky Pronunciation for Japanese Speakers of English

Remember, if you want to score a band 7 in your IELTS speaking test, it’s important to use some less common idiomatic expressions.

The best place to slip these idioms into your speech is in part 2, because you have 1 minute to prepare. If you are a clever clogs, you will be able to sneak your idioms into your speech naturally. 

When preparing for your exam it’s best to always try to go the extra mile, because there is a lot to learn.

Firstly, you have to learn how to use linking phrases. To be honest, I have to admit these are sometimes tricky to remember. On the other hand, once you have learned them, they can be difficult to forget.

Secondly, you have to learn how to paraphrase, and use synonyms. It’s good to spend time in a thesaurus and arm yourself with lots of alternative words. If you do this you will gain ground. 

Thirdly, in order to avoid feeling lost at sea when you take your exam, make sure you have one or two idioms up your sleeve. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but you can teach an English student a new idiom. 

Now take the quiz that goes with this podcast, and book your IELTS mock speaking test with me.
