TASK 21 - THE WORD OF THE YEAR 2017 is …….

¡Hola! Mucho gusto, me alegra demasiado empezar este nuevo episodio para ustedes en SPOTIFY. Vivo en un país donde no se habla español y sé lo difícil que puede ser aprender una nueva lengua. He sido estudiante de una lengua extranjera como inglés y francés, y yo se lo que se vive en el intento de aprender. Así que voy a hacer como si yo fuera tú y te enseñaré de una manera como la que que a mi me gustaría aprender. !Vamos que podemos!

Hablando Español con Nataly

Introducción al Podcast

Poesia tratta dal libro di Alda Merini (Milano, 1931-2009), "La vita facile", dove la celebre poetessa sviscera le impressioni di un'intera vita: dal manicomio alla passione amorosa, dall'invecchiamento alla solitudine nella sua casa di Milano. Buon ascolto!................................................

"La Vita Facile"

A tutti i giovani raccomando:
aprite i libri con religione,
non guardateli superficialmente,
perché in essi è racchiuso
il coraggio dei nostri padri.
E richiudeteli con dignità
quando dovete occuparvi di altre cose.
Ma soprattutto amate i poeti.
Essi hanno vangato per voi la terra
per tanti anni, non per costruivi tombe,
o simulacri, ma altari.
Pensate che potete camminare su di noi
come su dei grandi tappeti
e volare oltre questa triste realtà quotidiana.

A.M.

Problems English learners struggle with. Pronunciation what is it and how to improve it.

Pronunciation is the way in which we produce the sounds and stress patterns of words in a language. Good pronunciation is important for clear and effective communication in English, as it can impact how well others understand what we are saying.

 To improve pronunciation, learners can use various strategies such as listening to and imitating native speakers, using pronunciation guides or apps, and practicing with a language teacher who can provide feedback and correction.

Additionally, learners can work on specific problem areas, such as word stress or intonation, and use resources such as online videos or audio recordings to practice. With consistent effort and practice, learners can improve their pronunciation and become more confident communicators in English.

Dive into the recording and improve your listening / model the pronunciation and be inspired to improve your English further.
