Los gauchos ¿realidad o ficción?

This week, you’ll hear from the very first guest on the Express to Impress podcast. Allyson Plumberg, Founder of Rooted Accents: Solutions for Accent Modification, joins me to discuss accent modification. 

Allyson provides speech therapy services and accent modification coaching to students and professionals worldwide. She has a Master of Science degree in Speech-Language Pathology from Arizona State University.

The episode is the first of two with my conversation with Allison. It’s packed full of useful information for English language learners. 

We kick off the conversation with a definition of an accent and have a quick discussion about the General American English accent and micro accents.

Then, we dive into a discussion about common beliefs about accents. Allison debunks common myths that limit people from being able to speak English effectively.

We also talk about speaking speed, word stress, content versus function words, stressed and unstressed syllables, reductions, contractions, and more!

Mi España - La Provincia de Málaga (II)

The Zen philosophy teaches us to approach each task with mindfulness and enthusiasm. Language learning isn’t just about mastering grammar or vocabulary; it’s about immersing yourself in the culture, sounds, and rhythms of a new world. Start with curiosity and joy.

Why Passion Matters
Studies in motivation psychology reveal that intrinsic interest—the joy of learning for its own sake—leads to better retention and long-term success (Deci & Ryan, 1985). To channel this:
•	Choose a focus that excites you: Is it the music, the cuisine, or the stories of the language’s culture? Let your interests guide your learning.
•	Set a theme for the month: Dedicate January to learning words and phrases around a specific theme, like food or travel.

Sai riconoscere un dittongo o un trittongo? O quando due vocali si pronunciano separatamente formando uno iato? In questo episodio ti guiderò attraverso questi elementi fondamentali della pronuncia italiana con esempi chiari e semplici:
	•	Dittonghi (due vocali nella stessa sillaba): ieri /ˈjɛri/, uomo /ˈwɔmo/.
	•	Trittonghi (tre vocali nella stessa sillaba): miei /ˈmjɛi/, guai /ˈgwai/.
	•	Iato (vocali pronunciate separatamente): Maria /maˈri.a/, paura /paˈu.ra/.

In più, parleremo di:
	•	Le consonanti doppie (pala vs. palla).
	•	L’accento nella lingua italiana.
	•	L’uso delle maiuscole e dell’apostrofo.

Spiaggia e Dolce Vita

Prendiamo un caffè?

Сегодня у нас в программе очень интересная книга в жанре путешествия от Ильфа и Петрова - “Одноэтажная Америка”. Посмотрим, какие у них были впечатления от того, как они впервые попробовали.. Впрочим, скоро вы всё узнаете сами!

Как всегда, читаю отрывок дважды. В первый раз медленно, по несколько слов, но обязательно ставьте эпизод на паузу, чтобы всё успеть. Второй раз читаю быстрее, чтобы вы проверили, всё ли правильно записали. Знаки препинания я буду называть, их будет несколько: точка (.), запятая (,), тире (-). двоеточие (:) и восклицательный знак(!).

Отправьте мне сообщение со словами “тринадцатый диктант готов” и я пришлю вам текст для проверки. Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего дня, друзья!
