Week 3 Assignment - 'th'

This week I’ve chosen task about practising voiced and voiceless ‘th’ word. I tried to do my best but at first I had some problems with recording. However, I hope that after some attempts I said some words perfectly. Anyway, I’m at the beginning of my journey and it needs more practising.

Week 3 Assignment

Here is my reflection for this week. This assignment was quite easy for me because I’ve heard about these words already but I know that there can be some mistakes, as well. I used recommended page forvo.com and some YouTube interviews and these webpages helped me to make pronunciation 100%.

And for my own words I tried to use some interesting words. In this case I haven’t problem I guess. Maybe the word ‘Achilles’ was though.

List of the words: Grey’s Anatomy, Battlestar Galactica, Grand Theft Auto, The Big Bang Theory, J. R. R. Tolkien, Rihanna, Sherlock Holmes, Avatar, Assassin’s Creed, Avril Lavigne, Red Hot Chili Peppers

Enter Shikari, Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon, Cavalry, War Thunder, Achilles, Nazem Kadri, Jonathan Toews, Chicago Blackhawks, Django Unchained

Week 2 Assignment/Lazaretto

Hello everyone, here is my reflection for my second task for this week. I have chosen this song called Lazaretto that is actually my favourite from this artist. Actually I have never had problem with understanding of lyrics like in this case.  Jack White uses this quite easy words but he performs them faster than my tongue actually can manage it. When I tried to sing this song…well, it was just awful in every aspect. However, it needs practise and I would like to get better for example: to improve my pronunciation and listening. Anyway, if you are in favour with this artist. Here’s a link for you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI-95cTMeLM.

Week 2 Assignment - 15 Words

Hello everyone, here is my reflection for this week assignment. Well, at first it seems that these words are easy but after some time you will notice that even words like this have their own difficulties for our foreigners. Unfortunetely, I had problems with words like - analysis, course and laughter. I tried my best to figure it out with this task. I know that it’s not 100% right but anyway as I said I tried to do my best. I would like to improve it as soon as possible. But this gave me opportunity to realize what problems I have.

Week 1 Assignment - Introduction

OK, here is my reflection. Well, this interesting way of ‘blogging’ was new for me because last year we were only supposed to write our blogs instead of recording our voices. It was a little bit difficult because I recorded it many times. So after many attempts I was really angry but I knew that I have to make it somehow a tried to focus.  Anyway I know that I have a lot of mistakes in my speaking but I definitely want to improve and eliminate them. Maybe it was even strange to hear your own voice. However I’m looking forward to my next voice assignments.

Thanks for your time!

Regards,
