Our Promise to Members
At Britlish, our expert team of English teachers and content creators are dedicated to providing you with fresh and engaging content regularly. Our recent track record shows that we have added 1 new lessons (20 Activities) in the last 7 days and 13 new lessons (260 activities) in the last 30 days. Our promise to Wisdom and Genius Members is to add a minimum of 4 new lessons every month.
It's not easy to teach speaking skills remotely through a website, however good the site is. To really practice your speaking skills, you need someone to speak to who can correct your mistakes as you go. The Activities on this website will go some way to helping you improve your speaking skills by helping you mirror the speech you hear in the lesson. By listening to the speech in the Activities and comparing it to your own speech, you can notice how your pronunciation differs and make adjustments to more accurately match the speech in the Activities. Recording your own speech is also a great way to track your progress and identify areas that need improvement.

There are no other vowel sounds that have the potential to cause confusion with the / aɪ / sound.

Finally, we will activate your ability to hear and produce the / ɪə / sound correctly. Now is a good time to introduce you to the concept of linking sounds in British English pronunciation. Spoken English is like a chain of sounds joined together in short sections. If we keep the sections linked, it sounds right. If we break these sections apart, it sounds wrong. Each link in the chain will be either a vowel or a consonant, and they can be joined in a number of ways. Because we are looking at a gliding vowel / ɪə /, we will look at vowel sound to vowel sound links in this Pronunciation Activation Pack.
