Are you trying to speak too fast in English?

So you want to sound more like a native English speaker. That means you have to speak fast English, right?

Noooo waaaay :)

There is a danger with speaking fast - you might lose clarity of what you are saying ..

You may think you’ll impress people with how quickly the words come out of your mouth, but what they really want is to understand you.

When you speak too quickly, you might start mumbling, dropping important sounds, or rushing through your vowels. 

Is this the kind of impression you'd like to create? What if people that are listening to you have a challenge with listening, what will this mean? ..

Listen to the recording and to some suggestions I have for you + listen to my speed too and reflect on my example when communicating in English daily 

Making it a permanent habit will make all the difference.

I hope it helps and chooe&book some of my limited slots to train with me now.

#134 日本人の夏の過ごし方 How to Enjoy HOT SUMMER in Japan

Hey iTalkiers, this is Chadwick.

Thanks for listening today.

I am going to answer a question which may appear on a test like the IELTS.

And that question is this:  Do you enjoy outdoor activities?

The short answer to that question is yes.

I do enjoy activites that take place outdoors.

The longer answer needs to be unpacked, or explained a bit more in detail.

To begin with, I am not a fan of winter activities.  I used to be, but not so much anymore.

I was never really keen on skiing, but I used to enjoy snowboarding.

But, those days are gone, and I would much rather be cozied up next to the warm fire during those long cold winter months.

And now when it comes to spring, summer, and fall... I am all in.

Anyone who knows me or follows my Instagram (organicenglishus) knows that I am an avid gardener.

Avid means that I show a keen interest, or am enthusiasitic about, in this case, gardening.

I could spend all day playing in the dirt and watching things grow.

During the warmer months of the year, I also enjoy Hiking the North Country Trail, or paddling around a quiet lake with my wife.

So, yeah, spring, summer and winter are amazing.

Winter time, not so much.

How about you?

Do you enjoy outdoor activites?

Nell'episodio di oggi, esploreremo l'evoluzione affascinante della televisione italiana nel corso dei decenni. Dall'educativo debutto nel 1954 con la Rai, che ha introdotto programmi che entravano nelle case degli italiani "in punta di piedi", fino all'odierna enfasi sull'intrattenimento.
Scopriremo come la televisione italiana abbia navigato tra programmi educativi come "Non è mai troppo tardi" che hanno combattuto l'analfabetismo e programmi controversi come "Il Grande Fratello" e "Uomini e Donne" ancora in onda oggi, rappresentando l'idea di successo per molti spettatori.
Questo episodio offre uno sguardo approfondito sulla trasformazione della televisione italiana e le implicazioni culturali di questa evoluzione.
