Speak Good English Pronunciation Workshop

This post will be a Day1 + Day2 2-in-1 post :)

Day1(5 April)
Oopps!!! I went for the wrong date. Supposed to go for the Monday one but i go 4 days earlier... the Thursday... never mind... because like this then i can go for Quiz training :p

Anyway, lets see if you are able to "Speak Good English"
Here's a short little quiz for you:

How do you pronounce "banana"?
How do you pronounce "chicken"?
How do you pronounce "decided"?
Read this sentence: This sentence is the easiest sentence you wanted to read.
How do you pronounce "zero"?


Answers will be provided near the end of the post:P

So i learnt a few interesting words which i never knew had such interesting pronounciations.(red-- pronouncd as radd[as in 'ra't-d]) basically i find it rather enjoyable, especially because the teacher makes the lesson so interesting with the way she speaks.9When she is showing us a negative example, you can tell thatr she is doing so deliberately.

So let's continue with Day2...

Day2(12 April)

Weird isn't it? I went for thew very lesson and the very last one ... -_-lll(the very first lesson is meant for Workshop A[i am in workshop b], the very last lesson is for workshop B[TWX forced me to go with him and Dion{I wanted to do for both Workshop A one...}]).

Anyway, lesson was as usual... we did more on phonetics...

Interesting thing I would like to share:"And then, when?"-- pronounced with tongue not sticking out...

Mrs/Miss(?!? Which one? ... i don't know...) Tetenson(?!? correct spelling?... i dont know...)told us that to make friends you can pretend to know how to read palms as people likes to have their palms read... and not being asked yes or no questions...

And here's the answer to the short quiz:1)ber-na-ner, not bar-nar-nar 2)Chee-kin, not chee-kern 3)di-sai-did, not di-sai-derd 4)Theez sent-turns eez di ee-zee-yearst u wan-tid to reed 5) zee- rou, not ji-rou OR G-rou

Correct me if i am wrong... :P
