Welcome to LuckyLingo!
Hi!
This is where I help you to become a
better English speaker. There are many
resources and teaching aids here to
make this an informative and pleasant
experience for you. My goal is to go
beyond what you learn in school and
ordinary English courses to provide
you with in in-depth working knowledge
of the way English is really spoken.
English is not spoken the way it is
read out of a book.
To speak English properly you need
to use correct intonation. English is
not a tonal language but intonation
and rhythm are critical to conveying
meaning. This has significant meaning
for the English language learner. It
is not enough to read and write. The
most important thing is learning to
speak and being able to understand English
spoken by native speakers. You can do
it!
To understand and to be understood
you need to practice speech patterns.
Listen to me speak and then mimic what
I say. This is excellent practice for
verbal communication! American English
is not spoken word by word with slow
and complete pronunciation of each word.
American English flows like a stream
with rhythm and intonation. Many words
and phrases are run together to form
sound units and patterns easily understood
by native speakers.
Speaking English slowly and word for
word not only makes you sound "fresh
of the boat" (FOB) or newly arrived
but it actually makes you speech more
difficult to be understood. Americans
are not used to hearing word by word
pronunciation.
Here I will teach you to speak like
an American. You will develop natural,
normal speech patterns and quickly be
able to understand typical American
conversation. These lessons you will
not find any where else. I encourage
you to take advantage of this opportunity
to register now and learn to speak like
an American today!
“LuckyLingo provides informative,
and inspirational ideas that help the
non-native English learner to perfect
their ablity to communicate.”
