Hello dear students: This is a place for watching selected videos to improve your pronunciation. They show the most common and sometimes difficult sounds for Spanish speakers.

The blog is divided into assignments with instructions to achieve the goals.

I recommend you to watch the videos as much as you can, practice at your own pace, and record them on the site for voice recording, clicking on the link for each activity.

There are also pages with other activities you can use to practice on your own.

You will be using them fluently and naturally when speaking in class with your classmates and teacher and English speakers.

I have collected these videos and activities from different sites.

I hope you enjoy it.

Miss Ida
