[wanabidii] Re: [KOL] Re: English Pronunciation

Well I don't see how anything you write here helps with pronunciation. I don't see anyone asking here either....and if they  write to you privately why don't you answer privately ? Or just give them the address/link I gave you yonks ago where they can hear how to pronounce English properly instead of conning them with meaningless verbiage?

 

Kethi is DONE!! Now your Cord mole and Company in IEBC will be exposed.... 

The prospect is not good...Oh but yes.....according to your boss SO ...a Judge might be bought !

Haaaaaaaaaaah!

Roz,

You're a White Brit so these lessons are not meant for someone like you. They are meant for people who are facing challenges pronouncing these words or maybe just not sure of the correct way.

English is not our first language and we just learn it at school through some teachers that can sometimes really massacre simple pronunciations. I had a teacher in primary school who would pronounce:

MINUTE (as in 60 seconds)     as  M-EE-NUT    (or using Swahili, M-I-N-A-T) 

I get a lot of private mail from people who just want to confirm a word here and there.

Honestly, does anyone here understand this English garbage called 'pronunciation lessons ' and ' grammar' stuff that Mo throws up every time the wind of change knocks Cord off it's feet ?

This week's word is ULTIMATUM

An Ultimatum is a deadline. If I give you an ultimatum, that means I am giving you a deadline to do or finish a certain task, failure of which will attract some penalty or punishment.

UTLIMATUM

The British say:     A- L-T- I- M- E-T- A- M

Americans say:     O- L-T- I- M- E- D- A- M                                 (the D here is halfway between T and D but closer to D)

I hope this helps those who aspire to speak like the British or Americans.
