1. Homework: Starting a Business – Discussion Questions @Dominic Christopher Elliston . Please help me give feedback on the pronunciation of “thanks.”

If you want to improve your English speaking skills, you can do it actively and independently in this group. Below are simple, effective ways to practise — no teacher required. 1️⃣ Post short voice messages Choose a topic and record a 1–2 minute voice message.Suggested topics: - a recent work challenge - a meeting you had this week - an idea or opinion related to your job 👉 Focus on speaking clearly, not being perfect. 2️⃣ Respond to other members (by voice) Listen to at least two other voice messages and reply with: - a short comment - a follow-up question - your own opinion 👉 This turns practice into a real conversation. 3️⃣ Repeat your message (improvement practice) After recording once, record the same message again, trying to: - reduce long pauses - use clearer verb tenses - sound more confident 👉 This is one of the fastest ways to improve fluency. 4️⃣ Practise in pairs or small groups Connect with another member and arrange a 15–20 minute call.Simple structure: - 5 minutes: introduce a topic - 10 minutes: discuss or solve a problem - 5 minutes: feedback (What was easy? What was difficult?) 👉 English only. No corrections during speaking. 5️⃣ Use new vocabulary in real sentences When new words or phrases are shared in the group: - record one sentence using them - don’t explain — just use them naturally 👉 Speaking first, analysing later. ✅ Key rule Progress comes from speaking regularly, not from waiting until you feel “ready”.Make mistakes, speak often, and support each other.
