In order to get the band score you need in the IELTS speaking test it’s important to develop specific skills.

You will be aware that the speaking test is graded in four specific areas. Those areas are fluency, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.

In this podcast we’re going to talk about fluency. 

It’s important to use a range of discourse markers when taking your speaking test, so your speaking is fluent. Discourse markers are sometimes referred to as connecting words, or connecting phrases. For example, when answering the examiner’s questions you might say something like to be honest, or, in my opinion. These are two common discourse markers. Another connecting phrase you might use is, That’s an interesting question.

Let’s look at an example:

Let’s pretend the examiner asks you whether you are good at art. You might answer.

That’s a really good question. In my opinion, I am quite good at art. In fact, I really enjoy painting. To be honest, I think other people like my paintings too.

Now you try. I’m going to ask you a question, and you have to reply using these three discourse markers: To be honest / In my opinion / That’s a good question.

Are you ready for the question? Here it is: Are you ready for your IELTS test?

Thai Tea La Nid - EP.2 - Thai People Like to Shorten Words?! 

Hello guys! Welcome back to the episode 2 of Thai Tea La Nid Podcast.

Today, we're going to talk about how Thai people really speak in daily life. 

Well, have you ever had a problem understanding Thai people speak? 

Hmm, it just doesn't sound like what you have learned from the textbook, right? 

I think one of the reasons might be because we always shorten words and we always skip the subject. 

OK, for example, how to ask what are you doing in Thai? 

From the textbook, you might say “kun gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká”. I'll make it more natural. “kun gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká”. 

Which is too formal and kind of too long because that's like six words or eight syllables. 

Okay, so let's start by skipping the subject first. 

From “kun gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká”, we can say “gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká”.

Ok now, let's shorten the words. You can say “tam à-rai yòo ká” or “tam rai ká”. 

That's the shortest version. 

Ok, let's practice again from like the full version to the shortest version, ok? 

“kun gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká” 

“gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká” 

“tam à-rai yòo ká”, and 

“tam rai ká”. 

Ok, so now you can understand more Thai and I hope you enjoyed this episode of Thai Tea La Nid. 

See you again next time. Bye bye.

关于西班牙语和其文化的趣事

缩写词

There are 6 tones in Cantonese, tone 1 to 6, let's split them into 3 groups.
Group 1: tone1/ Group 2: tone2 and 5/ Group 3: tone3, 4 and 6
Group 1:
Tone 1 is the easiest tone to find, it equals to stressed syllables in English or other Western languages, for example, father has 2 syllables, one is fa, the other is ther, the first one fa is stressed, because it's higher in pitch, this sound exactly equals to tone 1 in Cantonese.For example I want to pronounce: tik1 (means tick in Cantonese), let's pronounce ticking first, ticking has 2 syllables, the first is stressed, so ti is tik1.
Group 2:
Tone 2 and 5 are both rising tones and are the same in question tones, like WHAT? WHERE? WHO? So to find these 2 tones, you just need to pronounce "WHAT?" then you got the correct tones!
However, what are the differences between tone 2 and 5? Well, you want to be very strict, tone 2 is relatively higher compared to tone 5, but actually when local people are speaking, to speak faster, they will omit details while talking in conversations, so you can just treat these 2 tones as the same tone.For example, if you want to pronounce hou2 (means good in Cantonese), we pronounce WHAT? first, then use the pitch of WHAT? you can find hou2 very easily.
Group3:
Similarly, just like tone 2 and 5, because these 3 tones are so close to each other and quite familiar too, so when talking in conversations, they sound just like the same tone. These 3 tones are just like our unstressed syllables, let's take father as the example again. The second syllable ther is not stressed, and this equals to tone 3, 4 or 6 in Cantonses.For example, if you want to pronounce daap3 (means take transportation in Cantonese), you can produce Linda first, Lin is stressed and da isn't, here da is our tone 3 for daap.

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.

こんばんは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日は、言語の勉強について話します。

最近、日本語のレッスンで、いろんな人と話をします。
ビギナー、これから日本語を勉強しはじめる人もいれば、N5、N4レベルの人もいますし、N3からN1までの人もいます。それぞれのレベルで勉強の仕方は変わるなと思います。

僕も英語を勉強しています。タイ語も少し勉強しています。来年、ドイツとオランダに旅行することにしたので、ドイツ語とオランダ語も少しだけ勉強しています。

文字が違う言語は学習するのが大変ですね。
文字を覚える必要もあるので、なかなか進みませんが、楽しいですね。文字を覚える時は、書くのが良いと思います。と言うより、書くないと覚えられないと感じています。
体で覚える感じがします。運動と同じですね。タイ語や韓国語は、書くことで文字を理解するようにしています。

日本語はひらがな、カタカナ、漢字とアルファベットに相当するものがとても多い言語ですね。はじめは書いて書いて書いて、なれるのが良いと思います。

発音が違う言語も大変ですね。
日本語の発音は口の前の方で話す感じがありますね。1語ごとに切るような感じです。でも母音も子音もそんなに多くないので、慣れるとできる、かもしれません。
英語は口の奥の方、喉のあたりを開けて話すようなところが特徴ですね。ストレスを置くところ、あまり発音しなくても良いところなどありますね。
日本人は学校の英語ではカタカナ発音から入ってしまうので、後からの改善は結構難しいですね。日本人が英語を苦手と感じる根深い問題かもしれません。最近の日本の英語教育がどう変わっているかはわかりませんが、カタカナ発音をなくすことを期待します。

日本語の発音で難しいところってどこですかね。
オンラインレッスンをしている人で聞いてくれている方もいると思うので、また教えてください！

ちょっと長くなりそうなので、今回はこれまでにします。
言語について話すことや考えることはとても楽しいですね。
オンラインでも言語の話題だけで30分が終わったりすることもよくあります。

またこのトピックについて話しますね！
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
