MEET JUDA - DL STUDENT

Juda - Level 3 Student

Juda from South Australia

I just want to share the story of how I met the challenges of my life in Australia…

I decided to go to a playgroup for my daughter and I attended an AMEP course as a Distance Learning Student because TAFE is a long drive from where I am.  Being a DL student makes me feel confident to talk. Later on I decided to get a job as a housekeeper in a hotel, and now I have a lot of friends and I am very happy.

Thanks Juda for sharing your Harmony Day story.

Can you recommend some books about pronunciation for me?

This will depend on your level and what problem areas you need to work on.  One helpful way is to practise saying minimal pairs which are two words that sound the same except for one sound only and they are often confusing to the language learner.  Examples berry/very or bed/bad.  Try this website to help you listen and practise:  http://www.shiporsheep.com

I would prefer to include more grammar in the books.

Under Links on this blog we have saved useful English language websites on our Wiki.  There you can find lots of grammar exercises to practise.  Look for Grammar in the green section on the left of the website.
