Working on Your Phonetics

Phonetics: the sounds of American English
When I first saw the website, I found it ease my preparation for tutoring jobs. Some students in Taiwan have great difficulty in pronouncing correctly. Even though I thought it was not a big deal, it is good to speak out beautifully, isn’t it?

PBS Kid has a great number of teaching materials for children. I really like the songs they provided. The thought of being a kindergarten teacher suddenly occurred to me while listening to the music. It was very enjoyable to visit PBS Kid.

My ET is an interesting software I would like to recommend. It is a web-based program employing automatic speech analysis system (ASAS) to identify the words spoken into the recording device, and it can analyze the speech on pronunciation, pitch, timing and emphasis. However, I thought the grading system really…well, challenging. After all, it’s fun though.
