Accent tags-kiejtés

Ahogy a neten keresgéltem kiejtést javító anyagok után, az alábbi hasznos videókat találta.
Az accent tag vdeókban különböző országok akcentusát beszélő emberek, fiatalok mutatják be az akcentusukat.
Egy kis bevezető szerénykedés után, ugyanazokat a szavakat olvassák fel, aztán néhány eszement kérdésre válaszolnak saját tudásuk szerint. Pl, mi az a teepee.

Miért hasznosak?
- Gyakorolhatod a hallás utáni megértés.
- Beszédet, kiejtés gyakorolhatod ismételve utánuk a szavakat.
- Érdekes összehasonlítani a brit, amerikai és ausztrál kiejtést is.

Whimsical Works of Art, Found Sticking to the Sidewalk

Ben Wilson lies prone to paint flattened gobs of chewing gum.

MUSWELL HILL, England — When first exposed to the art of Ben Wilson, or to Mr. Wilson in the act of creating it, people tend to respond with some degree of puzzlement.

"When I first saw one, I thought it was a fruit sticker," said Matt Brasier, who was walking through this north London suburb the other day.

A woman named Vassiliki, who was passing by, said that when she came upon Mr. Wilson, prone and seemingly inert on the sidewalk, "I thought he wasn't very well." She added: "I was like, ‘What is he doing?' And they told me: ‘He's painting the chewing gum.' "

Ben Wilson's underfoot art.

That is exactly what he was doing. Mr. Wilson, 47, one of Britain's best-known outsider artists, has for the last six years or so immersed himself in a peculiar passion all his own: he paints tiny pictures on flattened blobs of discarded chewing gum on the sidewalks of London. So familiar is he here, painting in any kind of weather, that he has become something of a local celebrity and mascot.

"He brings a lot of joy to a lot of people," said Peter Kyriacou, who owns the local Snappy Snaps photography store, which has a number of Wilson works out front.

Rendhagyó múltidők segítség

Rendhagyó igék tanulásához egy kis segítség, hogy legyen benne valami rendszer. 
Nem sok logikát lehet találni az angol nyelv helyesírásában és a szavak kiejtésében.
Itt egy kis gyűjtemény, hogy valami rendszer szerint lehessen tanulni a múlt idejű alakokat.
Mert ezek olyanok, hogy meg kell őket tanulni, nincs mese.
És még egy kis kiejtési segédletet is kaptok alább.

Enrolling in a language course

       Enrolling in a language course

• Good morning.
• Good morning. Can I help you?
• Yes, please. I'd like to inquire about the English language courses you organize at your language school. I have decided to take part in an intensive course because my knowledge of English is rather poor and needs to be improved.
• What would you like to get to know?
• What levels of English courses are there at your language school?
• There are courses for students at beginner, pre-intermediate, intermediate and advanced levels, too. Anyway, all the students are asked to write a test beforehand so as to ascertain what level they should attend.

Mind your language

Mind Your Language Learn English By Movies Season 1 ep 1 The First LessonImádom, annyira humoros, egy szegény angoltanárról, akinek mindenféle nációval kell boldogulnia.
Nem kezdőknek való, inkább azoknak, akik értik a nyelvi humort, a nyelvi szójátékokat, amiket a külföldiek el tudnak követni az angollal.

Ezt nehogy megtanuljátok! 

• And squeeze me please lady
• Yeah I'm coming here for to be learning the English.
• You are early. 
• No, I am Ali. 
• I beg your pardon. 
• My name is Ali. Ali Nadim I am coming here for to be learning the English. 
• Yes you wish to join our course of English as a foreign language. 
• And I'm hoping to be unrolled. 
• Hoping to be unrolled. 
• That's what you say in your silly bus. :-)

Gerund - Infinitive

A gerund - vagy inges alak nagyon szépen angolossá teszi a beszédünket, és lerövidít sok bonyolult

szerkezetet, például that/should-os - (hogy valaki csináljon valamit)  mellékmondatot.

(Például: I suggested (to him) that he should do some sports. - helyett: I suggested him doing some sports.)

 Már egész korán meg kellett tanulnunk, hogy a szeret-nem szeret jelentésű igék után az igei tárgy (amit szeret-nem szeret az ember csinálni), -inges alakban, tehát gerund formában áll.

Vannak olyan igék, főnevek, szerkezetek, amik után lehet gerundot is és főnévi igenevet is használni.

Van amikor csak gerundot, és van amikor más a jelentése a kettőnek. Meg kell tanulni. Lehetőleg kis mondatokkal, eleve a szó tanulásakor már úgy kiírva a szótárba.
