No doubt they have their reasons, but I often get asked by students, 'But how do I learn how to pronounce a word?'

They have a whole section on phonics which is screaming to be investigated. I've been doing some tests and suggesting certain things to the creators. Meanwhile, here's a simple game on plurals. There are 10 easy questions (to begin with). You will hear a word being pronounced.

Often, they either pronounce it as in their own language, or they confuse letters, especially e with i. Last year, José Alberto, from IES Los Tarahales, and I were working on a chart to hang on the classroom wall to help the children remember the right pronunciationhttp://teacherlingo.com/blogs/a_clil_to_climb1/archive/2010/10/16/sounds-of-english-tournament.aspxSat, 16 Oct 2010 23:18:00 GMT2d57f927-24f1-4f58-a78a-cbbebe5f5d42:368740AnonymousRegular readers among you will know that I use Purpose Games quite a lot, mainly for point and click activities. Members create regular tournaments, so I decided to start one of my own on none better than the Sounds of English. There are 6 games in the tournament.

Fortunately, there are only three different ways of pronouncing the ending of regular verbs, which can be expressed by the phonetic symbols of /id/, /d/ and /t/.
