IELTS Test Day Tips: Boosting Performance Under Pressure

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!

Bu bölümde çakalın hikayesi anlatılıyor.

Bölüm 2: Boya Küpüne Düşen Çakal

”自習”も”独学”と同じ意味を持っていますが、ほとんどの日本人にとって”自習”は学校で先生がいない時に自分で勉強する時間、という意味で使っています。

Technically "じしゅう” and "どくがく” are the same, but most Japanese will use どくがく for self-study.

例）
・今日は先生がいないので9時から10時まで自習してください。
・私の学校はいつも金曜日の9時から10時まで自習の時間がある。


独学は誰からも習わないで自分で学ぶ、という意味です。
・私は独学でギターを練習していた。
・英語を独学で勉強するのはちょっとむずかしいよ。先生にならったほうがいい。




・ 学習する　vs　勉強

△学校で学習しています。
〇学校で勉強しています。

・フォーマル
子どもが学習するために、親は良い環境（かんきょう）をつくってあげなければいけない。



犬は”お座り”をしたらエサをもらえる、ということを学習します。
