ENGLISH GRAMMAR and PRONUNCIATION: CONTRACTIONS: 1
COURSE 1
NATURAL SPOKEN ENGLISH is very contracted! Understanding fast talking is very difficult.
So, practice contractions! Ya ain't gonna wanna miss this course! (= You are not going to want to miss this course!)
LISTEN. Practice SPEAKING. LISTEN AGAIN. Practice again.
And we gotta check out the grammar too, ain't we! (= And we have got to check out the grammar too, haven't we!)
I teach grammar and pronunciation. RP/BBC English accent is my speciality.
The aim is to use a lot of contractions, but still sound RP/BBC/posh: to sound educated, but natural.
Cambridge University is where I studied, got my BA and MA, and my Post-Graduate Certificate of Education. I'm retired so I'm putting my lessons on the internet so my students can see them. And, I hope, enjoy them, and have fun learning.
This course uses mainly intermediate grammar, so is not very difficult.
There are QUIZZES, LISTENING SKLLS PRACTICE, SPEAKING and EXAM ADVICE, SONG LYRICS, and a lot of fun.
As this is the basic course most of the contractions are common and you may know them: don't, haven't, it's, we've, you're, etc. Some may be new: needn't, teacher'll, who'd, where've, etc.
And we check out the differences between howl and how'll, it's and its, and he'll and hell ! And how to say needn't've, shan't, and mustn't've.
Ain't that right! Yeah!
wanna? gonna? mightn't? can't've!
