Thank you so much Michael Landry! Your comment has added a clearer view of my niche. I will refresh and refine the statement to include the transformational outcome. I have just watched you session and I must say that I really appreciated the way the content was presented in a precise, clear and incredibly smooth way. I certainly will take much more than its content.
Webinar Preview: Diagnosing Pronunciation
We're hosting Donna Brinton on Wednesday for a webinar on teaching pronunciation. Are you able to make it? You can see the registration link on the Calendar here in TSN - we hope to see you there. As a preview and lead up to that talk, we're happy to share here a handout on the 5-part Communicative Framework and a guide to understanding language barriers in English pronunciation. @Leonardo Gomes put this together and added some reflections from his trip to Brazil. Before getting into the framework, we ask three questions: Question 1: Have you ever experienced a language barrier due to pronunciation differences? Share a specific instance where a mispronunciation led to a humorous or confusing situation. Question 2: For non-native English speakers: What English sound or word do you find most challenging to pronounce, and why? For native speakers: Which sound or word have you noticed non-native speakers often struggle with? Question 3: What do you think is the biggest challenge in learning English pronunciation? You can add your thoughts below to get the conversation started before the webinar. Looking forward to the session on Wednesday.

Once my mother had a tough experience while ordering coffee, for Brazilians it’s challenging to pronounce double ‘e’ , the longer vowel sounds have to be noticed and acquired. When she tried to say coffee it sounded like cough. And the waitress gave her a real hard time! Brazilians often struggle with the th, sounds and words such as world, girl, and the r sound in restaurant. Mainly because it’s not part of our repertoire in Portuguese language. As for English speakers experiencing Portuguese, it’s hard to pronounce the nasal sounds as in the words-mãe, mão, lição. I feel that it’s a bit about physiology. Once you get conscious and try it many times it’ll become progressively easier.
