PRONUNCIATION

hello guys, most of you must be already on holiday, yet I would like to post a useful link that I have found for pronunciation on the BBC Learning English site .
It's a page with some quizzes and the chance to listen to correct pronunciation (and imitate it, which, as you know, is the key to successful pronunciation). I hope you like it

CUARTOS: MORE GRAMMAR LINKS: REPORTING VERBS

Hi everybody, your homework for next Friday is related to reported speech. In case we have no time in class to revise everything...here are some links for you to study reporting verbs that often cause confusion (suggest, recommend, demand, deny etc.). The link to BBC learning English is really good! I will never insist too much on that.....you can find quizzes, exercises, explanations, pronunciation, videos.....you won't need your teacher any longer! ;-), the other one is also good for quizzes and exercises...enjoy
