pronunciation practise
Let's practise words and sentences which include consonant digraphs
or consonant consonant words
let's look at some sl words
before we start let's look at some annotation
the thick arrows with black words are stressed words
the thin arrows with grayed-out words are unstressed words
the slash represents a slight pause between words
the dash represents a slight pause inside the words
an arrow pointing up shows that the voice needsto be raised
an arrow pointing down shows that the voice needs to be lowered
when an arrow that goes straight across shows that the voice remains even
as you read the sentences
move your head up and down according to the direction of the arrows
to get a feel for the rhythm of the sentence
let's have a look at some words and sentences now
