庭の梅が咲きました。梅の花が咲くと、本格的に春が来るなとそわそわします。梅の話から、神社、そして地元の伝統工芸の話をしています。

梅の花から天神さん、張り子のお話

In order to achieve a band score 7 in IELTS it’s important to practice using idioms. Idioms are of high importance if you want to get a band score 7 in IELTS. In fact, it’s very rare for any student to score above a band score 6 in IELTS without using idioms. If it does happen, it only happens once in a blue moon. And since the IELTS exam is so important, it’s a good idea to invest in some private one to one lessons with an IELTS teacher, like me. Lessons don’t cost an arm and a leg and they might help you to achieve the band score you need. Be sure to spend your time and your finances wisely. Invest in yourself and your future. Life is short, and there’s a lot to do. So stop thinking about it, bite the bullet, and take action. Book your private lesson now.

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!
