What a great advice . As always, you are the one and only. !!!

[@tigranayvazyan5974]

Regardin' the first example, "Where did you meet him", it seems like you change the first "d" of "did" to flap t/soft d, too (I guess, it's because it comes right after the "r" sound of "where"), so it really sounds like, [we(ə)r ɾɪju mi:ɾɪm]. Am I gettin' it right?

[@vivianacorrea6549]

Language is purely immitation if you want to sound similar to a native speaker, although now there is a tendency to accept the concept of Englishes which I'm not so convinced about. I love American pronunciation, the one I was taught in my homeland, Cuba.

My principal is Canadian and her accent is similar to America accent. But I need to ask you a very important question I studied in my college phonetics according to the British curriculum so Do you have long Schwa and short Schwa or only Schwa sound? Thanks

If you said "take a vacation" in the UK, everyone would be looking at you like "where is this guy coming from?" We use "holidays" instead.

I alrady mention that is difficult to find booka in English on paper at the same time its difficult to read books if your lever of language is not C1-C2 This is if we speak about classical English litterature for shool midle age If we speak about specifaezed literature for example economical the deal even worse you need spesific education to understand it using forein terminology I know what im saying cos i tryed

[@preetiawasthi7850]

I want to ask one thing always that should we do shadowing of one person only or more then one because AJ hoge and other teachers always says tha u should do shadowing only one or two person because every person speak in different way not the same way
