hello and welcome to English meetings
pronunciation speaking and listening
course at the end of this course
students should know how to pronounce
the targeted sounds in words phrases and
hopefully conversation some students may
need to practice more after the course
or take the course over again to reach a
higher level of proficiency and that is
pronunciation to me is like learning a
musical instrument your mouth the air
pressure in your mind can all be thought
of as your instrument learning this new
instrument takes time and practice this
must be recognized if you want your
pronunciation to improve but never get
it takes some people longer than others
and that is fine mindset attitude is
another important element fear or
embarrassment holds many people back
from achieving better pronunciation it's
important to make a decision to not let
embarrassment control your level of
language achievement mistakes are ok
keep trying and keep pushing yourself
forward build your confidence in
yourself and step forward in life not
backward now I'm here to help you and I
think we will have some fun working
together as far as material for this
there is no textbook material required
students just need to have access to a
computer with a good internet connection
now in order to view the video aspects
of this course high-speed internet
access will be helpful and or necessary
depending on what kind of service you
i always recommend that a student of
English have a good ESL dictionary even
though it is not required for this
course this is a self-paced course with
some deadlines most of the work for this
course can be done at your own pace
you may work on elements anytime you
wish 24 hours a day seven days a week
anytime students in any timezone can
participate there will be some deadlines
like i mentioned for each week make sure
you know when certain tasks are do I
look forward to this class and i look
forward to working with you i'm dave
