Re: About the English tongue
Hello,
I agree with you that learning English sounds is a frustrating activity to foreigners.At least,try to speak English with an understandable accent.Later,you will get more familiar to English sounds.
Remember,Practice makes perfect.
:-D
Re: About the English tongue
Donīt you worry about that, and you know why? because I've passed through the same problems you have. Try not get peeved everytime you cannot pronunciate some words, just relax and try to do that over and over again. I don't master english yet, but itīs my goal until the end of 2007. By the way you espeak chinese (Mandarim) don't you? I assure you I would take a millenium to learn something from your language, take it easy, you can make it. Happy new year.:lol:

Re: About the English tongue
Do not worry! I'm sure we all have the same prob! I have the pronunciation in my mind but my tongue doesn't seem to care to obey...Someone once told me that a good way to learn is to exaggerate the accent and sounds, as if you were making fun of it.
Personally, I find the book "How now, brown cow" (by M. Ponsonby) pretty handy!

Could you tell me where I can find this book
Re: About the English tongue
I guess you could try in specialized bookshops...Have no clue where to get it in China! Where do you normally get your learning books?
Re: About the English tongue
I normally get my learning book from bookshop, but you know, my mother tougne is not English, so there are few english books in it, thanks for your help, maybe i can search it on Internet.
Best wishes
