Send me a text message. Suggestions? Subjects for future podcasts? Let me know--thanks!

It's okay to read the sentences if you need to, but please do NOT try to read them while you're repeating with the podcast. English spelling is a distraction. It's NOT a useful guide to pronunciation.* Close your eyes (unless you're driving!) and use your ears. Train yourself to really hear the sounds, rhythm, stress and intonation of my speech.

1- I went downtown to pick up some food.

2- He visited his mother in the late afternoon. 

3- She cleaned her apartment for most of the day.

4- We drove to the lake and swam for a few hours.

5- I worked on my homework until it was finished.

6- Where did you find such a good book?

7- John takes his dog Rex for a walk twice a day.

8- During the week I work 9 to 5.

9- I started studying English many years ago.

10- Whoever you invite is okay with me.

11- Math and science are my favorite subjects.

12- What kind of pizza would you like to have?

13- Green is not my favorite color.

14- I ate chicken; my mom chose pasta.

15- My father works too much. It’s getting him down.

16- If you don’t understand me I’ll speak more slowly.

*(If you have any doubts about this, have a native speaker say these words for you:
tough, though, house, pour, group, cousin, loud, fourth... Yeah, what a mess.)

Note: the podcast website lets you send me a text message but (WHY???) it doesn't let me text you back. So please use the email link if you'd like to hear back from me. Thanks!
