ESL Blogs

Hello everyone, in this learning English resource I would like to recommend some of practical websites and videos online. Okay, let's start from Daily English Dictation,  which is the one I learned from our EC newsletter, is a program on YouTube based on American accent. On each section, it gives one or two simple or difficult sentences from news, movies or everywhere, and then you would have four times of pause to write down what you hear for dictation. Then, the correct answer would be given on the next section.  I like this program is because it teaches the meaning of the sentences. And most importantly, it would analyze how to pronounce linking. For example, it says when the weak sound d, t and th is next to the strong sound S, N and L, those weak sounds are usually got rid of when speaking quickly, and others like h sound in he, her, him, his, had, has and have which are also cancelled when saying faster. Hope it helps for those who want to improve their listening and pronunciation. Thank you for being here. Have a nice day!
