After listening to many new English speakers, I have become familiar with some of the common issues that new speakers have difficulty with. One of these is the pronunciation of "-ed" endings, such as in past tense verbs. Most new speakers pronounce ALL "-ed" endings as two separate syllables, which is not always correct.
I have also been experimenting with Voicethread (http://voicethread.com no www ) as a method of exchanging information and practicing audio. So, here is my first attempt at creating an English lesson using Voicethread. I hope many of you will add your comments to it, and will learn something new from it!
I'm trying to paste in some embed code so you can see the voicethread right here in the blog, but if it doesn't work or is too small, you can use this link to go directly to the voicethread site and use it full screen: http://voicethread.com/share/2498999/
Hope it works!

Thanks, Selma, for trying it out! I responded back to you on the same slide! Maybe some members will like to use Voicethread for their EC blogs! Another good way to practice spoken English!
Hello, I've done my first recording :))
Hi Bev,
if you interest how to add a Link, I thought that it could be a good guide.
Thanks Bev for involving us with your good experiments.
It seems to be good, I need some times to learn its using,
See you,
