00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:33.599 now in every module there's a snapshot 98 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.280 video that tells you what's in the 99 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.080 module and there's also a pdf okay so 100 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.000 you can click on this pdf 101 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.519 and you can download it over here 102 00:03:43.519 --> 00:03:45.760 each pdf supplements the

--> 00:03:53.439 right so if i click into this video 107 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.120 let's have a look at a natural lesson 108 00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.360 there are two main ways to pronounce the 109 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.439 th in rp 110 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.000 we have the unvoiced 111 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.879 sound and the voiced 112 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.200 sound okay so this is an actual lesson 113 00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:11.439 this is about the th sounds this is in 114 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:12.879 module two 115 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:14.319 so as you can see there's a learned 116 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.799 component to every lesson and this is 117 00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:18.799 where i give the input this is where i 118 00:04:18.799 --> 00:04:21.680 teach you about a sound or about 119 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:23.440 something that we do in british english 120 00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:25.520 pronunciation so here i'm focusing on 121 00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:26.880 these two sounds and i've given you 122 00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:31.199 examples of the sounds 123 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.759 what's different about my course is that 124 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:35.600 we look at accent variations so we're 125 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:36.560 not just looking at receive 126 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.759 pronunciation i also teach you about 127 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.320 other ways to say these sounds and 128 00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:43.680 around britain there are lots of 129 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:45.600 different accents and so 130 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.400 with each sound i try to tell you about 131 00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:50.240 how they're pronounced in different 132 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.479 parts of the country so in this case 133 00:04:52.479 --> 00:04:54.479 you've got the unvoiced third sound well 134 00:04:54.479 --> 00:04:57.040 that could be a fur as well in some 135 00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.600 parts of the country now with each video 136 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.080 there is an identified section this is 137 00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:03.039 where 138 00:05:03.039 --> 00:05:05.199 once you've learnt about the sounds you 139 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.440 then get to identify them now in this 140 00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:10.000 example it's about minimal pairs so with 141 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.479 minimal pairs you have two words with 142 00:05:12.479 --> 00:05:14.720 just one sound that's different so for 143 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:18.080 example think and sync think 144 00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:19.199 sync 145 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:21.600 after the identify section there's 146 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.560 always a practice section okay let's get 147 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.960 practicing first decide which sound 148 00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:29.839 you're going to use on each th in these 149 00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.000 example sentences then we will listen to 150 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:32.800 them 151 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:34.880 pause them and then you can repeat 152 00:05:34.880 --> 00:05:36.720 straight after the first thing they 153 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.840 think about is this 154 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.120 now another aspect of these lessons is 155 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.039 the real world listening extension this 156 00:05:45.039 --> 00:05:48.080 is where i give you real world examples 157 00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:50.400 of these sounds being used 158 00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:51.919 now i think this is really important for 159 00:05:51.919 --> 00:05:54.240 you to contextualize 160 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.240 your learning and to see that it's not 161 00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.880 just in textbooks or in this course it's 162 00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:00.960 actually used in the real world 163 00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:03.520 and finally there are test videos for 164 00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:05.600 every single module so you can practice 165 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.319 practice practice 166 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.240 so guys sign up to the package that 167 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.160 suits you and let's get you speaking 168 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:16.639 english with confidence and clarity
