I'm super excited that you're here and that you're

In this lesson we're going to be doing some more

and in particular, we're going to be practising

your pronunciation problems so that you speak

And it's effective because it teaches you to listen

to the sounds and the patterns of English

and trains you to produce those same sounds yourself

through repetition and controlled practise.

You're training your mouth with your ears

by listening to the sounds and imitating them

rather than training your mouth with your eyes

by reading and guessing the pronunciation

Now if you haven't done a lesson like this before,

don't worry, it's really simple and I'm going to explain

You just need to get ready to speak out loud with me.

mmmEnglish website to help you practise this way

and you can find out more about them up here

or I've added the link in the description below.

To practise with the Imitation Technique, there's just

three simple steps that you need to follow.

The first one is, well you just need to listen to what I say

and read the words on the screen as I say them.

but then there'll be a pause so that you can repeat

You need to copy me exactly as you hear me.

This step, you can do again and again and again

until you sound or you think you sound exactly as I do.

so that you can practise a little more slowly

You're going to be listening to me and saying

and that's pretty much like practising along to your

favourite song, right? You can't really do it straightaway

but with a little bit of practice it gets easier

Now although this step is also the trickiest one,

it's the best way to fine-tune your natural speaking skills.

so that you can adjust the sounds and the rhythms

You are going to make a lot of mistakes but who cares?

Today we're going to practise talking about a past trip.

Now I'm going to be sharing a story with you about

Talking about travel is a really great way to start a

conversation because there is lots of opportunity

Keep in mind that you can easily exchange my story

with your own story about traveling as well

especially once you've been practising with me

I've just come back from a trip to Portugal!

My friend was attending a conference there

I don't usually make spontaneous decisions like that

but it all just happened at the right time.

I had no idea what an incredible city it is.

The city is full of beautiful cobblestone streets.

I spent so much time just wandering around

Winding my way through historic neighbourhoods.

Actually one of the coolest things we did was

We went up this steep hill and had an amazing view

It's like a little motorbike with a cabin on the back
